Margaret. These photo's are arranged in a group to try to help you to recall more of your childhood. The first and second show 223 Shore Road which was near enough to the garage you mention. The third photograph is AFTER demolition and shows the fenced-off land this house was on (one of Fortview Terrace) and its once close proximity to Aerocrete. The fourth picture shows the entry at the back of Fortview Terrace prior to it being demolished, and the side of the old Aerocrete building.
Dargan, you're whipping me into a frenzy here!!!

So close!!!!!!! I'm remembering when I learnt to ride my bike, I would come out of 269 and was allowed to turn left and pedal a hundred yards or so, and when we lived there there was just a huge boarded off space a bit set back from the road with maybe a dwarf chain link fence about six feet in front of the hoarding (you know the old iron ones with spikes along the chain that hung down between two concrete posts). There might have been adverts as with a billboard, or it may, may have been a building? This in your pic is the area with the new metal fencing/wall with newly planted trees.
I DONT remember Aerocrete, what frontage did it have on Shore Road itself?? I also don't recall Fortview Terrace, how can that be?

? Was the terrace boarded up in the 70's??? or maybe it was just out of my "playing" range. I was allowed into Oakmount Drive, up to McCloys and Uncle Cesar's, (where the petrol station is now) and that was it.
And from the angle of the picture, it's almost like where I lived WAS Aerocrete??? Crickey this is exciting, thanks a million Dargan, I can't tell you what these pictures mean to me....
