45 to 49 Dale Street

 

Between Tariff Street and China Lane, Dale Street and Hilton Street, two buildings run parallel to each other linked by two enclosed footbridges.  The building on the left of the image above is number 45 Dale Street.  Its neighbour is number 47.   On the far right of the image you can just see the corner doorway to number 49 Dale Street.



These former factory/warehouse blocks are occupied today by a variety of businesses, many, like "Loud Accessories", are involved in the garment business.  The block is marked below by the red rectangle drawn over the 1953 aerial photograph.



In 1886, as demonstrated by my sketch from a map of that time, number 49 was an upholstery and quilt warehouse.
