With the ‘Royal Arcade’ relocated Bridge Road now consists of three buildings. The Toole’s Buildings houses the Italian restaurant ‘Pasta la Vista’ and ‘Bradman’s Foodland’. The inspiration for ‘Bradman’s Foodland’ come from a photo of the namesake in 1960’s Footscray.

The overall photo shows how far back of the layout the buildings are. Very hard to reach, unfortunately. The black cord to the left is a temporary connection between two sections of track. It will eventually be replaced by soldering a cord to the track at towards the left. Not sure how to reach! The buildings will be set into a footpath/pavement, which will stretch all the way out of the photo to the right. This can be finished before a wye set of points is replaced by a right hand set of points resulting in a smooth curve behind the bank. Again, an area very hard to reach.
