An aerial view of Hornby as it was in 1951, before its recent growth. Hornby as it was then is still, of course, remembered by many older residents; but it would be scarcely recognisable to newcomers. The Wigram airfield is at the bottom left; at the bottom centre is where Springs Road leaves the Main South Road. The corner of the Main South Road with Carmen Road and Shands Road, now the commercial centre of Hornby, is in the middle distance.
