Lonsdale Street, Dandenong, 1971.

The favoured West side of Lonsdale street in 1971, Back before the controversy of the Plaza, Retailers preferred the western side of Dandenong, the East side remained full of houses very close to the main road until progressive attempts were made to change this, resulting ultimately in the failure of the West side as retailers jostled for proximity to the Plaza, Recent attempts have tried to correct the long term affects of this.
