Cheers Atarah...the second photo confirms the date of the first now as being between 1901 and 1906/7 because we now know the street on the left is Market Street. The second piccy, is of course of Market Street, looking from Church towards Ossy. We can be much more specific about the date of this picture because we can see hoarding on the left (previously the site of the telephone shop with the lamp). The hoarding, of course, is there as alteratons are made to curve the building for trams to go round, and we know the tramlines from Church to Ossy werel aid in 1906/7.

Just going back to the first piccy, though....can anyone spot the pub? Not to difficult really...it's the Navigation Arms and it's the building with the bloke stood outside, just on the right hand side of the piccy. Als, no longer with us.
