Bye Bye Southend

Southend guest house has been part of the 'xatt' (promenade) facade for as long as I remember and that is a good twenty years for sure. Anyways for all of you out there who remember this building it is now being demolished to be replaced by another building so far the rumours are either a nursing home for the elderly or a guest house again.

Buskett Gardens

I believe I have already once shown a photo of Buskett. Well, yesterday togheter with some friends we went there for a picnic so here's a shot of the street leading down to buskett.

Birzebbuga

Road leading into Birzebbuga

This is the main road leading into birzebbuga. One can come into our village using other routes but this is the main one.

Fire Fighting School

This photo was taken this morning whilst there was an ongoing lesson at the firefighting school up at HalFar.

Villa Overhills

This building is found opposite Ghar Dalam, it is now used as a party hall for weddings, big parties, etc.. Someone had asked me to take a picture of this building, well here it is i hope this is what you meant.

Birzebbuga's old bus

This is the old bus that used to run from Valletta to Birzebbuga and Kalafrana (the area next to our town). The buses are now yellow and with numbers, but before they where colour coded and the one for our town was blue.

Passion for Buses

A former bus driver Mr Emanuel Muscat who lives in my town kindly let me inside his garage to see him working on these lovely bus models he makes out of wood and other materials. He makes them so neat and to perfection that one obviously has to see them in real life to appreciate his work. Well done to Mr Muscat and thanks.

Ghar Dalam Entrance

Petroleum Division - Enemalta

This is the petreolum division of Enemalta, I have previously shown the gas division and the electrical division/power station. Petrol and Petroleum where introduced in Malta in the early 1900's and this was after the gas and electric. In 1928 the first few Petrol Stations started to open on our island.
