The Glass Plate Negatives were originally taken by local chemist Ernest Bathurst, who produced local postcards from them. As the master set, many of these images have not been seen before and feature views of the town that have long since gone. I have cleaned, conserved, photographed and reversed the 80 images and will present them, along with some of the postcard views, with a description of the events and places they show in a visual presentation approx. an hour long.
