"Looking down on the old bridge from where Mrs Jeffery lives today. Taken about 1890. The showground has been developed a lot since the earlier photos. In the far centre of the photo, you can see that the Church of England is still much the same as it is today. We can also see that Dabee, Louee and McLaughlin Streets are still much the same. The Museum you can see very clearly – in those days it was a hotel. The very small smoke stack you can see below the Church of England was possibly another flower mill. The old wooden bridge was replaced by a concrete one because it was unsafe to the public."
