Hornsby Shire - Now and Then 

I say that's Holroyd City Council!

Exactly, Joe - That's what I thought when I saw it!

It will always be The Pacific Highway to real locals.What have they called Hookhams corner ,Yuppies Bend.

hey king fahtah i remember old cess the drunk in the late 70s.used to give him lunches at the old sandstone bus stop opposite the war memorial.

​@@freddofrog8794 He was hard to forget if you had anything to do with the area. He hung around into the late 80s / early 90s and then moved on I think. One of those local "institutions" the council probably doesn't want to promote 😆 but he was kind of a cult anti-hero for teenagers of the era. I talked to him outside ABC milk bar a couple of times he wasn't a bad guy just had...uh...difficulties.

@@KingFahtah whos this cess bloke my mother may have heard of him

​@@lachietzarov2585 He was an infamous drunk that hung around outside the train station at Hornsby on the Pacific Highway or "the old side" abusing passers by and bludging change and ciggies. Like I previously stated he was something of a cult hero / anti-hero for teenagers at the time. I don't honestly know much about his personal story. If your mum lived in the area at the time (late 70s to late 80s or early 90s) she would no doubt remember him.
