Morrab Gardens 1963

The top of Morrab Gardens, when it had the cast-iron shelter;
The gardens show a distinct air of the great care with which they were endowed.
These were the days when people were employed because they had knowledge and talent in a particular area, not to satisfy any other agenda.
These gardens were lavished by hand, getting down on hands and knees,
close up and personal.
Not then the grind of half a ton of machinery and 'when is knocking off time'....
This was a time when we could walk through the gardens in total peace and quiet
and no diving into the hedge to allow a car to pass through.
It was only a guess in relation to the postmark of 1965. Can you update it by any chance?
 
When was the Penlowarth office building erected that could date the picture somewhat
 
I hope you Blessed yourself when you mentioned that building name ... ::15: Good point though.
When George Ferguson President of the RIBA includes it in his 10 buildings in Britain to be demolished [his X-list], I think this should be a major signal to all involved to own up and get out the sledge hammers .... and beat each other to a pulp ... ::15: ::1:
 
Penlowarth (makes sign of cross) was built c1968, despite the Civic Amenites Act of 1967; Branwell House is not much better and is a sad use of the name of a great and philanthropic man, and others of his family. M I Bothad ?
