There isn't much left of this scene: Hamilton, 1964

The following photo was taken during the Hamilton Centennial celebrations, in fact, the image was taken on the 22nd of August 1964. A question for all you Hamiltonians though - where was this image taken?

Hamilton Centennial Parade - 22 August 1964

The clues:
Only one building in the image still exists.
There are now trees in the middle of this street.
The South British buildings site on in the foreground now has a bank.

The answers:
The building that still exists was the Post Office. This is of course no longer a Post Office at all.
The parade went through the main street - the photo is of Victoria Street.
Victoria Street has trees - in particular since the Main Street upgrade which was part of City Heart.
The bank which is now in the foreground is Westpac. BNZ is in the background.
The Regent Theatre in the middle ground was demolished by HCC - they are now part owners of the Novotel on the site.

The "now" picture, taken the other day.
