Contextual Information

In early 2011, the post office moved to new premises in Piesse Street, Toodyay (near IGA) and the building was sold into private ownership. The ground floor became available for lease and the "Uniquely Toodyay" shop opened there in the same year.
Believed to have been taken for the Toodyay Tourist Centre, which promoted activities and community events and provided photos for publicity purposes. Typically the photos produced during the 1980s were in black and white.
In 1998 the Toodyay Tourist Centre Inc. amalgamated with the Shire of Toodyay and its assets, including photos held, were transferred to the Shire.
