apparently 6139 is next to "the hole in the roof" drinker in queen street deal.
this still leaves the question of what was there before.

6148 is more or less the site of the baker's shop where I grew up. The building in the foreground was once Dane Bros turf accountants.

Next to the bookies lived a lady with a teenage son (this is about 1950ish) who was learning to play the violin. He would practise for hours, late afternoon and early evening. He never got the hang of it, it was dreadful!
Just round the corner lived an old boy, Andy Claw, who before the war had a fresh fish shop further down the road, and next door to him was Mrs Bushell the curtain twitcher who knew everything that went on!
As to the new building, let's just say it's being built with economy in mind.
