Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Knew I'd seen the name on a photo somewhere. This is looking down De Ligne Street towards Montfort Street (where the kids are). The entrance to Oxford Square would be just beyond the church building which is marked on both maps.
