Hi Alan, It’s just that I want to build up a family history for my lad and those that follow, It’s been hard just getting back to the mid 1800s.

My great, great grand father and my grand father lived on Earl Street back in 1878, just before my grandfather wed and move to Pitt Street. I’m looking for period photos just to illustrate the difference between then and now. Where the houses survive and to give my lad an ideal what a true mill town looked like..
