Location ~ What used to be back in olden times.
1 and 2. This spot is on the corner of New Street. As you can notice it is only a ground floor building. During the 1930s and 1940 it was a 2 level building. On the corner was Joe's Bar and next door was the barber shop of Toni Brincat. Upstairs was the billiards club that had 2 balconies and it was the home of St Peters Football Club. It still is St Peters F.C. Club today 2007.
3. The large frontage place used to be called "il - Villa / the Villa". Belonged to some well to do people uptown. Was only occupied during the summer months. When WW2 started in early 1940 the place was taken over by the English Army and was used as an Army H.Q. for the West Kent Regiment and the Devonshire Regiment. Was handed back to its owners c1945.
4. This spot has always been the Birzebbuga Police Station. However during the war years the Police moved up to Zurrieq Road in part of a large building that was used as a winery. The nickname of the family that owned this winery was ' ta - Tira '. The Police moved back to the main road c1945.
5. This house / villa at this location was also used as a summer residence. During the 1990s it became a branch of the Mid-Med Bank.
6. This large house / villa was also a summer residence. we used to call it " id - dar tas Sur Wig ".
7. I can see a person, a human being by the tree. Seems he / she has the whole place to himself / herself as no other person is in sight.
