This block was known as Wilson Place, and was situated where the present day curling stone factory has their yard. The houses at the start of Barskimming Road on the extreme right are still there. At the time the image was taken this part of Barskimming Road was called Hamilton Place. The image taken from the glass plate in this instance again is so clear as to allow a close up of the kids. The little fellows on the right can be seen with their bare feet, a common practise in those days.
