The photos focus on Victoria Street, which is one of the town’s oldest streets and Corporation Street. They are central to our resort’s shopping. Some of the really old ones go back to the 1800s. I find them fascinating because there are glimmers of how our town would shape up decades later. Other photos fast forward to the 90s and 00s.
