Below: The former Streets factory at the corner of Bonar St and Hirst St. It is now occupied by someone called One-Ten Enterprises, and seems to consist of a warehouse for bailed up, and often overflowing rags.
Below: Street sign at the Wollongong Rd end. Sadly, the bowling club is now derelict. I had heard there were plans by Rockdale Council to turn it into a youth centre (much needed) but nothing has happened.

Sad to see the old bowling is going to be blocks of flats now. It was originally a stand alone club, arncliffe bowling and recreation club, then scots got in later on to try and save it. Sadly it is only a memory now like most of the old places around the area. That's progress I guess
