Overview

Black and white photograph of Flintoff Chemist on Broome Road (Hay Street Subiaco). The image shows is a double storey brick building form the corner. There is a tin awning above the door and the three shop windows. Above the awning and the central door is a sign that reads 'T Flintoff'. One of the windows reads ' Flintoff Druggist' and the other 'T Flintoff Chemist'. A horse post can be seen on the right and a ladder can be seen on the left. There is a power line pole in the centre of the image. There is a road sign to the left of the image that reads 'Broome Road'. The road appears to still be dirt which would mean the image was taken in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
On the reverse is a handwritten note 'Flintoff Chemist Subiaco WA'
