Paddington Lace

Made by The Commonwealth Film Unit 1970. Directed by Chris McCullough. Paddington is one of Sydney's oldest suburbs. It has developed in a similiar way to New York's Greenwich Village or London's Chelsea and in 1970 became Sydney's artist colony. This drama captures the essence of Paddington in those days, with footage of the Victorian style architecture and a depiction of the sort of people who lived in Paddington at that time - its heyday as a bohemian arts community.

Good to see the streets of Paddo the way I remember it growing up as a kid.

Paddo has always and still is beautiful in the spring time.

Lots of VW Beetles on the road in those days.

The white one driven to the Auction is a 1958 model.

Also good to see the green and gold Leyland double decker buses.

I like the fact that babies and toddlers still wore cloth nappies (diapers) rather than disposable nappies like today.
