We love a good piece of local history 💙
A huge thank you to our patient John Baldwin for sharing these fantastic old photos of the block where our practice now stands. We believe they were taken back in the 1970s or 80s, and it’s amazing to see how much — and how little — has changed.
At the time, the smash repair shop pictured was owned by John’s brother-in-law, Dirk Westerhout, and it sat right where our building is today. The building itself was originally owned by Tom Walsh, long before it changed hands and gradually evolved into the health precinct it is now.
We absolutely love seeing the layers of history behind the place we work every day. Thank you, John, for helping us connect the past with the present — these photos are a real treasure for our community.
If anyone else has old photos or stories from the area, we’d love to see them! 📸✨
