Hi Mary A street map of Mentone will show you that just west of the trainline, there is a square formed by Cillins, Elizabeth, Patty and Collins Street. The Hoysted stables took up most of the block, reaching from Collins to Patty Street for about half of the block. The roads at that time had soft edges - no curb and channel - so, as the soil was extremely sandy, the horses could walk along these edges without hurting their feet. Also, even closer to us was O. N. Marshall's stables, just three doors away from us. We lived in Elizabeth Street for well over ten years - giving my age away now, aren't I ? Bay Road ran up to Southland Shopping Centre, I think Regards Irene R Rees/Dowsett Family Page http://tribalpages.com/tribes/Brent44 -------Original Message------- From: Mary Dean Date: 10/31/05 17:22:41 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HC] List your interests O/T Irene, my Hoysted is William Lang, who married Vera Mather, William is descendant from Henry, who was the son of Frederick - very large family all round.

Hi Irene, When I lived next to Hoysted they were in Albenca Street but that was the early sevenites - just after they cut up the old race course for housing.

thanks Irene, I was in Bay Road long before there was a Southland. Southland now has a bridge over the Highway to the area that use to be the Lucas Muffler site. I moved in to Bay Road in the 50's, not telling my age at the time pp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Irene R" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 7:47 PM Subject: Re: [HC] List your interests O/T > Hi Mary > > A street map of Mentone will show you that just west of the trainline, there > is a square formed by Cillins, Elizabeth, Patty and Collins Street.
