The Waterfront,

The dockside building in the foreground has been replaced by a modern shopping centre for tourists but the old warehouse to the rear is still the same.

Royal Road,
Port Louis

This location proved impossible to find with much of the old part of Port Louis looking like this despite most of the buildings in the area having been re-built over the last 59 years.
1943

The Majestic Cinema,
Port Louis

The Majestic has changed its name slightly but remains the same in appearance. The manager was delighted to see my father's old photograph of the cinema!
