Detective work


This is a section of a larger photo of Governors Bay. Sorry it's rather fuzzy. The photo is dated 1925. If we didn't have a date, how would we know? Murray Radcliffe pointed out the location of the original store (Miss Blakeaway's), below the Ocean View Hotel, where the Frame Reserve is now. Thanks Murray. I think the store burnt down (can someone confirm?). Later the store was rebuilt across the road where She Chocolat is now.

We also know that this photo can't have been taken before early 1925 because it features the newly built (completed late 1924) Cholmondeley Children's Home.
