(above left) Aerial shots of the town
in 1947 and 1964 (above right0. In the image (above left), the dark
line down the middle that then turns to the left and down again are
the original trees that were planted in the 1930's along Hitchcock
Avenue, Bridge Road and Golf Links Road. The first stages of the tree
removal can be seen (above right) as well as theconstruction
of the top oval in the park (middle bottom).
(above) These next two are in 1984 (left)
and 1990 (right), the series of images show the development of the
town over the fifty-year period. An interesting point to observe is
the movement of the sand bars and the river course up river as well
as the sand movement on the point (The Spit), the Ocean Grove side
of the river.
