The Mall

I used to work at Burnside high class stationeries which was opposite where this photo was taken.
Opposite Burnsides was the National Provisinal Bank where there was a suspected bank raid all the detetives were dressed as window cleaners and odd job men , at the time I was dressing one of the front windows when a detective came up to me and told me to keep quite and he would help me with the window which he did, but at the same time he was keeping an eye on the men who was going to do the raid.
The police caught them as they were entering the bank.
