Another great photo, well done Accygirl. Wonder what date it was.
Seems that the road widening then had stopped at the Accy boundary, you can see the kink in the road on the 1890 map.
Wonder what the low building opposite was, just looked on Google satellite view and it's still there. Looks like a gate lodge, but if it were to Gatty pk it's on the wrong side of the road. Did the Steiners have a house on that side?
The photo must be after the school was built.
The Hag dye works next to the church presumably belonged to the Gatty family. I wonder if they gave the land for the church. The family came from France so I presume they were catholic.
What a lot of interesting avenues your post has opened up Phil!
