caption_attribution_description: The bridge over the Potamos River as seen from the corner of Mettochiou Street. Behind the palm tree and the tall Eucalyptus tree, was Wolsey Barracks (HQ Cyprus District) , and behind the Esso garage, in 1952 -53, used to be Kushi Mohammed, the military tailor. In my schoolboy days, the place from where I took this snapshot, was occupied by a tiny ramshackle "shop" made from odd pieces of wood and corrugated iron, and where we'd buy Bubble Gum, chewy sweets, catapult elastic, and bottles of fizzy drinks!
