Historical information

A handwritten note by Jack (Hammer, Museum curator, 2004) accompanying the photo states: "Probably 'The Redcoats', Boer War veterans in a sort of Home Guard unit. C. 1905. [Photo taken] definitely on the east side of the Oddfellows Hall, where today's marketplace is and Maureen McKittrick's Swimming Pool was."
