Ladies Mile Road

1930s development

Martin Nimmo

These historic photographs were taken in 1930 when the development of modern Patcham was starting. This photograph shows the old barn in the valley at Ladies Mile, which became a Methodist church.

The Mackie Avenue development can be seen under construction.

Comments about this page

I love the picture of Mackie Avenue construction. I was born in 181 Mackie Ave 1944. I am the youngest of the Watson family - we all went to Patcham School. My parents talked of walking out to Mackie Avenue, before it was built, to choose a house. I was very lucky growing up there - I had a wonderful childhood.

I don't see where I'm standing in the photo. Is that Ladies Mile Road in the foreground, or is it Braybon Avenue and Mackie Avenue? I'm interested because I lived at 181 Mackie Avenue.
