1920s Annandale was a busy place. There was the retail strip along Parramatta Road the timber businesses on the harbour. In between there were builders fibrous plasterers stonemasons and the Pictures. Confectionery Jam Pianos and Radios were all being made in Annandale. Though change was coming motor vehicles were crashing into pedestrians and posts and injuring their occupants. Annandale remembered those who did not return from the War. The Angel of Durban came to say hello to some who did.
