Right: My name is Mary Sumner, I am the eldest great grandchild of Nana Franklin, whose bach appears at the extreme left of this photo, now demolished, I am also the eldest grandchild of Dan and Edith Arrowsmith owners of "bach 78" partially obscured, directly opposite the Islington Bay wharf, boat shed with the white door, restoration planned. This aerial photo was taken sometime in the late 60s or very early 70s, as you can see none of the bachs have been demolished yet.
