SIESTA IN SLIEMAA Solitary Policeman in Tower Road.

A policeman stands guard as men and boys pose on a street corner while decorations for the Festa are being erected.

The street name reads Strada Reale. (Andre` Gauci a postman from Sliema says this is Windsor Terrace, corner with Don Bosco Street, where the St.Patrick's car park lies.)

This street in Sliema, is Triq Karm Galea,with The Ursuline Sister's Orphanage on the left.

This is the previous photo in 2002.Walking along Triq Sir Adrian Dingli and turning into Triq Karm Galea in

Sliema, you find The Ursuline Sister's Orphanage on the left. On December 20th 2002, this building celebrated its 100 years.

At the far end of Triq San Gwann Bosco,is St. Patrick's Salesian School for Boys,

founded in 1903, which is also a home for boys between the ages of 9 and 16.

This street, Triq Karm Galea is in Sliema. The house with the little girl

standing on the step has the name "YANA“.

.

This is the previous photo taken in 2002.The street surface, pavement and kerb have been renewed but there seems to very little in the way of alterations to the exterior of the house named "YANA“.

The house on the right has now been replaced by a much higher building. This view is looking towards Dingli Circus, which became much more built up since the original picture was taken.

This is the statue of St. Publius in St. Anne Street, Floriana,

facing the direction to Valletta.

People appear to be waiting for a busat the bus stop (Stage).

This area was very badly damaged by aerial bombing

during World War Two and upon rebuilding, this street was

widened.

A route bus heads down deserted Tower Road, Sliema, towards the Landing Stage, known as "The Ferries“.

A horse with Karozzin waits outside the Majestic Theatre. A poster on the kiosk promotes the film

‘Naughty Marietta’ starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. This film was a hit when released in 1935.

The Magic Kiosk Restaurant which stood on this corner, has since been removed.

A policeman on duty at the bottom of Tower Road, Sliema, does not have much in the way of traffic or pedestrians to direct.

It must be siesta time as Victor's Pharmacy, Surgery, Clinic and Perfumery is closed.

In the background, one of the ferries that ply between Sliema and Valletta is awaiting passengers.

This is the Valletta Fish Market,seen from the landing stage in The Grand Harbour.

Much activity is captured near the Valletta Fish Market.

The first two fishing boats, the G15 and theG2,

are lined up in the Harbour at Mgarr, Gozo with other fishing boats.

A peaceful and deserted scene at Marsalforn, Gozo, so very different from the view seen today.

far from the bustling going-ons of today.
