Sandwich Street Looking East – 1895


Photo from the SWODA

This photograph comes from the Official Programme of Grand Military Demonstration, May 24th, 25th, and 26th, 1895 courtesy of the SWODA. This shot is looking east along Sandwich street from Ferry street, beside the old Crawford House Hotel. In the distance on the right hand side of the road the tall tower you can see is the old Windsor Opera House. It later became part of Smith’s Department Store and lasted into the late 60’s/early 70’s before it was demolished. The Travelodge today sits about on the same site.

Have great weekend everyone! See you back here Monday.
