Day 3 of my photos taken at Carrington at the weekend.
One thing Carrington has plenty of and that is pubs. Apparently at one stage in the early 1900s there were 30 pubs within a one mile radius. Some dating back to the late 1800s and some to the 1930s.
Some of the pubs no longer exist and have now been converted to flats or in the case of the top centre pub it is now a kindy, but there are still plenty of pubs for such a small suburb.
I think 30 pubs within a 1 mile radius must be telling us something...haha

@leggzy In the early days of settlement it was a very working class city suburb.
@kjarn That one has just been sold not sure if it is going to be office space, apartments or a private house now though.
@casablanca You wouldn't have to craw far between pubs either.
@sangwann Not so many pubs now though but with a suburb that is only about 2 km in length there are still quite a few.
@craftymeg @happypat @randystreat Luckily I was just passing by taking photos.
