Overview

A coloured photograph of Rokeby Road facing North from between Bagot Road and Barker Road. On the left side of Rokeby Road two yellow tractors can be seen, one behind the other. A man with an orange vest is kneeling next to the tractor that is in front. Orange cones line the middle of Rokeby Road. Along the right side of the road, six cars follow each other, all driving South. Multiple shops can be seen along the left side of the image. Shop signs include a blue sign with white lettering stating 'BLEEKERZ Foods', a white sign with black lettering which reads 'Terrace Stationary' and a white sign with red lettering that states 'BAKED FRESH ON SITE'. In the bottom left corner of the image, there is part of a yellow sign with black lettering that shows 'ED'. Part of the 'E' is not in the frame of the photo. In the bottom right hand corner of the image, a date stamp reads '1 2 '89'.
Reverse: There is a handwritten inscription in pen on the reverse which states 'ROKEBY RD UPGRADING, 1/2/89'.
