The photo was taken outside the fomer Williams and Cotton drapery shop, - now Farmer and Clark insurance agents. The road at this time looks to be narrower than today with a grass verge outside the school buildings. Far left is the Chemist shop.The ladies are part of a carnival entry on a wet day probably in the early 1950's.
Can anyone provide a more accurate date ?

The sash worn by Robin Timmins looks to read Springboks. The Springboks (South Africa Rugby Union team) had a very sucessful tour of Europe in 1950-1951, so this photo may well date to 1951.
