"In 1965 Bank Place had changed little. And much the same set of clothiers was in Higson, Hosier and Oliver lanes, although some manufacturers' agents had replaced the manufacturers themselves. In various locations across the city there were still electroplaters, engravers, printers, and sign-writers, as well as specifically twentieth-century businesses like Spotless Dry-cleaning, in Caledonian Lane (centrally placed off Little Bourke Street), Electric Signals Burglar Alarms in Barry Lane (further west), and the Gita Yoga School in Alfred Place. The occupants of Alfred Place had changed completely from 1935; now there were the Delphic Reception House, the Naval and Military Club, S & M stationers, and the dental division of Drug Houses of Australia, as well as the Yoga School. Perhaps change was the order of the day. Off Collins Street, east, every shop in Regent Place, apart from Ernest Hillier's always-crowded milk bar at the entrance, had changed hands between 1935 and 1965. In came Tim the Toyman, Peter Piper Books and Fletcher Jones Dry-cleaning, several coffee lounges, shoe and sportswear shops, a jeweller, a florist, and a hosiery bar. " p. 67.
