So why the later newspapers on the right? The only thing I can think is that it was taken to mark an occasion - possibly even the end of WW1- and they had kept the posters as significant events and were displaying them as Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469914160524841986.post-29436518513130609582012-04-01T09:01:00.018+01:002012-04-01T09:01:00.018+01:00You could spend hours looking at this photo and st...You could spend hours looking at this photo and still discover something new.<br />I wonder whether the horse was used for deliveries.Bob Scotneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662958579705940009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469914160524841986.post-57810006140173640492012-04-01T04:58:25.155+01:002012-04-01T04:58:25.155+01:00My favorite kind of photo - one with lots of detai...My favorite kind of photo - one with lots of details! I did a search on Mazawattee Chocolates. It started out as The Mazawattee Tea Company, but in 1900 tea prices rose & sales dropped, so they branched out into chocolate.
