Albion Street

East Brunswick Auto
 
Brunswick is laid out on a grid, with the big streets such as Melville Road, Sydney Road, Lygon Street and Holmes/Nicholson Streets running north south. Apart from Brunswick Road (the southern boundary) and Moreland Road (the northern boundary) the streets running east west are small and narrow. However some of these are main routes in disguise. Albion Street has a bus service that takes you all the way to Essendon, so it is really quite an artery. It starts at the top of Lygon Street Brunswick East, with this wonderful old ghost garage just opposite the imposing façade of the Lyndhurst Club Hotel.
Yesterday I was out around Albion Street. It was a beautiful late spring day and I found a few more ghost signs.
