Title
Eglington & Gooch's Steam Engine
Date
1900s
Description
The view of the church towers in the background suggests that this is the workyard on the site of the current Spar shop and the yard behind it. Sidney Eglington is on the left, the older man in the three-piece suit may be Robert Parker Gooch who died in 1907. The steam engine would have been supplying power to run a circular saw for cutting logs as a preliminary process of the wheelwright business and making carts and traps.
