Ahh, our beloved Leuty Lifeguard Station, the most photographed structure in the neighbourhood.
This photograph, taken 90 years ago, is quite possibly the Beach’s first photobombed image recorded.
And nothing has changed. I will still get pesky tourists or dog owners getting in the way of my shot.
Do you have an old image of the Beach you would like to share with our readership?
