Here is a scan of the Societies picture. It was given to the Society about a year-year and a half ago. The border you see along the top edge is along the other edges, it got cropped when I scanned it. It's a great shot, almost all the buildings are still standing, except for the small building on left, about where the bath rooms are now and the Pavillion has been rebuilt in the same spot after the fire. The building in the middle of the picture, between Victory Pier and the train station is the RR freight/baggage building which now sits at Gillans Boat Yard. It was moved there by the Shoorocks, owners of the Reptile Zoo Gift Shop and put alongside the shop. The gift shop is gone, but the freight building still stands. I posted a picture of it I took in 2006....Marty
