Gosford Times 5 Jan 1919 There are 71,326 pensioners in NSW who receive per annum £1,709,626. ( that works out at just under £25 pa each) Owing to the recent heavy rain, the roads in the shire , excepting perhaps Gosford to Wyong, are in a shocking state ( nothing changes does it ) Mr George FAGEN is about to put into training a magnificently shaped colt , sired by the imported 'Waukenphast' out of Gladys D, one of the best gallopers of her day MargM Central Coast List Admin

Hi Marg, Those old Gosford Times newspapers you are quoting are certainly fascinating, as are most newspapers of the past. One thing that always hits me in the eye is how history keeps repeating itself. Or, as the other old saying goes, "there's nothing new under the sun"... politics, murders, decamping husbands and wives, missing persons in general, world disasters and what about that terrible flu of 1919 that killed so many thousands of people - ghastly. Let's all hope that the present bird flu crisis is contained successfully. Re boot makers: they were common in the district from early times I think....the reason being that most people had to get around the district by "Shank's Pony" (on foot). There were few roads in our district, mostly bush tracks, and people had to go by rowing boat or skiff, or simply leg it. Some lucky ones had horses. The first ferry services must have been a Godsend. Imagine how often those boots and shoes would need a re-sole. Old photos of general stores often show a selection of boots hanging up on display outside the door. Keep browsing! Very interesting. Regards, Gwen

I just checked and no COULTER d 1919 Gosford I would like to find out more about the logistics of living in this area in the early 1900s - say 1930 . Was really only train and sea access . A few weeks ago I got reading a few Gosford Times for the mid 1920's and was struck by the number of shoe shops in Mann St ..........at least 1/2 doz where as none now except one in the Spotlight arcade . Did all their shoe supplies come up by rail ? In mid 1920's was no Harbour , Punt , Rip, or Hawkesbury Road bridges no Pacific Hwy and no F3 :-)) Would have been a completely different world bye MargM Central Coast List Admin

Hi Marg Those postings were interesting..... particularly today, when the bug has been re-grown. I wonder if many of the family died from it.
