46 John St Stories
Gun Alley Stories
Introduction
This project would not have happened without Ruby (Humphries) Kwijas who grew up at 46 John Street. Her love of history and her stories about playing, living and working in John Street are vivid, and make Gun Alley come alive.
Ruby reminds us everyone is a part of the community and we all have a role to play in it be it big or small; using our brains or providing the brawn.
Throughout the Gun Alley pages you will see references in old articles to £ (pounds). £1 = $2; 10/- (10 shillings) = $1; 5/- (5 shillings) = 50 cents. Please note: this does not reflect the value of the money but serves as an indication only.
