This 1968 photograph shows houses located in Orchard Road (between Cairnhill Road and Emerald Hill Road). Orchard Road supposedly got its name from the orchards and plantations that existed in the area until the turn of the 20th century. It is now a major tourist and shopping belt. Title devised by Library staff.
