I'll start the ball rolling by naming whatever and whoever I can, Wynn might have to correct me later and then I can correct any errors. Firstly not to confuse the readers when they see cars that were not around in 1957, I will say that the larger photos were taken by June about ten years after the smaller ones, just before the Hostel closed.

Hut numbers etc can be found on the drawing I will upload to this thread shortly.

#01. Standing on the road beween the Dining Room and Hut 37 looking North, back towards the Main entrance.

#02. The Hostel Kiosk and Public Phones (Building 52)

#03. The Main Entrance looking south.

#04. The Recreation Room where June and her friends used to Rock the night away. Movies were also shown here for the Hostel residents and were also attended by many of the Smithfield locals.

#05. Another shot from the same place as #1 looking more to the right, here you can see the Toilets and Ablutions Blocks and part of the Dining Room at far right.

#06. June and Eric's two sons playing on the playground equipment (late 1960s)

#07 June Alderson, Eric Davies and Terry Coffey.

#08. June Alderson.

#09. Eve "Pip" Malpass, Marlene Smith and Marlene Newbury, near the flagpole between Hut 36 and the Hostel Office with the Dining Room in the background.

#10. Taken On Smithfield Railway platform which was directly adjacent to Building 33. Showing Eric Davies, Val ?, Ken Hiscock and Pam? (Val's sister).

#11. June Alderson and (Dora Smith ?)

#12. ? same as above.
(My humble apologies, June did tell me, but I can't always read my own scribble) Embarassed

#13. June Alderson, Dora Smith, Marlene Smith with Jim Smith at the rear.

#14. ?, Marlene Newbury, June Alderson.

#15. June Alderson and ?

#16. Barbara Alderson, and Eve Malpass (in front) Mona Burdett and June Alderson (behind), taken at the Old flour Mill near the swimming hole, several miles away in the hills.

#17. Mona Burdett.

#18. Tania Pettit, Alan Hodson and June Alderson.

Thanks Spike and wynn7755,

Those are wonderful photos. It's really great to be able to see what the Smithfield hostel looked like. I already posted about the research I'm doing on one of your other threads. We've set up a Flickr group that includes a couple of pictures of Smithfield kindly shared with us: http://www.flickr.com/groups/migranthostels/pool/with/5423707629/#photo_5423707629

We're also trying to find more people who went through Smithfield. We're having an event during the 'About Time' history festival to spread the word: http://abouttime.sa.gov.au/content/salisbury-and-smithfield-hostel-stories

If you know anyone who would be interested, or you'd like to come yourselves, we'd love to see you there.

Catherine
