The value of the item considered for accession lies in its research value as a visual record of early Toodyay, including several buildings and structures that no longer exist.
The current MOSAIC database does have images that may include several of these buildings in the background however it is not believed that these specific images are duplicated in the system. The item is therefore a useful reference for Toodyays physical development and would make a good addition to any future displays on the history of the Town.
