Flushing Archives

The images in this gallery capture Flushing from the 1950's to the present. Many photos were taken from the same location over this span of time, they show both enduring landmarks and dramatic change. Since starting this site over 4 years ago I have been continuing to get a great response for pictures from my old home town, now averaging about 10,000-20,000 views a month. I will be revising an expanded version of a Flushing History photobook for 2013 so keep posted. Requests and comments are always welcome!

    Under the Flushing Bay draw bridge, April 1975. Although the bridge has been replaced and sewage no longer flows into the Bay, it remains the most blighted area of Flushing. I took it as a challange to try and take some interesting shots that would look "good" (yes there is a rat in this photo).
