A nostagic view of the Sliema Strand between the last quarter of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Enjoy.
"Villa Bonnici which used to run along the strand, inside the villa at one time around 1955 they used to show movies. The ferry area is quite a change now, although some of the shops are still there. In the winter time on stormy days the sea used to rush across the road that it actually used to reach those stores, and i remember we had to make a run for it before the next wave overshot the shore. The photo studio was run by the Axisa family. " Charles Vella
