Our web site : A Curious Coincidence?

Careful examination of the front page of the new Petpro website will reveal a figure walking from the left of the picture into view by the Royal Blue herring bone panel on the front of the Swanbourne Veterinary Centre.

This was a coincidence and not an intended inclusion, as the person is Una Paterson mother of Tony and resident of Claremont since 1991 when she came to Perth to join her son and be part of the family, grandchildren, and soon to arrive great grandchild. Una is an even stauncher supporter of the boys in the blue and white hoops from Corio Bay than Tony and in fact is a sportaholic following all codes of sport avidly.

Beneath the 2003 picture of the Swanbourne Centre you will see the 1939 version with the then owner Alan Sherwood of Sherwood Court fame standing beside the recent purchaser of the land Dr Thomas Hogarth the first owner of the Swanbourne Veterinary establishment.

Again to the left of the picture you will notice a person on a bike riding into view………….did you guess who?……..Yes… Una Paterson again though at this stage her name was Vine. Soon to marry Tony Vigano a restaurateur in Melbourne (1940) she just happened to be riding by in that sepia tinted picture in 1939…………an incredible coincidence or a trick of the camera……….who knows. Una also features elsewhere on the site under History of Devon Rd………again on her bike.
