Sobre IBD

Keira Street has seen plenty of action, including murder, arson and a gun-happy nightwatchman. Businesses have come and gone from the strip - including a funeral parlour, a car yard or two and even a petrol station. It is a key marker for an iconic family-owned bus company and a former football player who opened up multiple venues in the street’s restaurant precinct. Bigger buildings have gone up, turning what was once a place where people lived to one where they work, shop and have fun after hours.
