Meanwhile back in 1984...

John Gillon from

Meanwhile back in 1984, the bush is cleared and land is prepared for the building that we now know as the Glenfield Pool and Leisure Centre! 😮

“Excavations for Glenfield Centre, Sept. 1984, looking from Bentley Avenue across the Skatelands building to Downing Street. The roofline of the Glenfield Tavern is just visible below Glenfield Road and Downing Street Reserve is undeveloped. Retaining walls have been started below the Foodtown carpark. Two diggers are loading a truck with soil with two cranes operating on site. In the foreground are large drainage pipes.”
