Description: Size: 150 x 200 mm A photo taken just north of the Town Hall and showing on the left the St. Philip's Sunday School, vicarage, and church with a horse and carriage parked outside. In the street outside the church a man is doing something on the road with a wheelbarrow, watched by two little boys. On the right is the Victoria Hotel, Isaac Coombs's ironmonger's and various shops, including Harry Pullin the plumber's verandahed shop. Signs on the outside of the hotel announce the delights within such as 'billiards' and 'assembly rooms', and in the street outside are several posts for tethering horses and a watering-trough. In the nineteenth century it was common for many organizations and clubs to meet in hotels. An araucaria grows in the front garden of one of the houses in the distance.
