Hello again looked at the picture again this morning with fresh eyes. I am almost certain where this is: My bet is that the ladies are standing in Barnard street outside Trinity Presbyterian Church demolished in 1957, beside that is the Scottish hall built of brick with plastered window surrounds (old version, the hall has since been extended to the roadway), but I recall it had lights at the gate, with globes on top like the one you can see between the two middle ladies. The picture is taken facing south towards North street in the far distance, the building on North street with the mast/flag pole is either the courthouse or police station, still on current site. The wooden shop with verandah is on the corner of Woollcombe street. The double storied building on the far corner of Woollcombe still stands, with a shop on the ground floor. south Canterbury Museum has photos of the Trinity Church so you can match the masonry fence. cheers Cynthia -----Original Message----- From: graham dixon Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2014 8:49 AM To: NEW-ZEALAND@rootsweb.com Subject: [nz] [RE:] Who knows Timaru? Where is this photo taken? The name on the shop behind the left two ladies might be a clue - especially if it is applied to other sources such as newspaper ads or business directories. cheers Graham Message: 10 Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2014 17:36:32 -0700 From: Olwyn Whitehouse<olwynbw@gmail.com> Subject: [nz] Who knows Timaru?
