Description of No. 8

This photograph includes the neighbourhood of Albion and Wooloowin, looking towards the Kedron Park Racecourse, which shows near the middle distance. The Magdalene Asylum is the large square patch in the centre. In the foreground in the left hand corner is the Sandgate Road and Albion Railway Station. The Railway Line can be seen running through the picture between Hudson Road and Albion Street to Wooloowin Station. Branching off Albion Street, in the centre of the picture, and running past the Holy Cross School is Chalk Street, which runs up and joins the Gympie Road. Moving off from Chalk Street, near the centre of the picture, and running towards Kedron Park, is the Kedron Park Road, which stands out prominent, and eventually joins on to the Gympie Road. The meandering thoroughfare running past Kedron Park into the distance is the Gympie Road. Branching off from the Gympie Road a little past Kedron Park, and running out to the left, is the Stafford Road. On the near side of Kedron Park, and branching off the Kedron Park Road, is Kent Road, which runs out on the right hand side of the picture towards Eagle Junction.
