Looking quite different to Gympie Road today, this photograph was taken from the southern side of Station Street facing northeast.

The Clyde Hotel can just be seen on the left behind the Old Shire Hall. A butcher shop, the Piggott family home and Piggott’s bakery and general store are on the right-hand side. 🧁
