Jordanville is visible to the left of Waverley Road, as is the cleared site of the future Nicholas factory. A wedge of Hughesdale, between Dandenong Road and Poath Road, is to the right and beyond that, the Oakleigh brickworks can be seen.

 

At the centre of the photograph is the Convent of the Good Shepherd, upon whose lands the shopping centre was built, opening in 1960.
