               Early every Wednesday morning, Shire horses drew 30 or
            so ancient wooden cabins on even more ancient tiny iron
            wheels from their store yard behind the square and lined them
            up in strict order of importance before the sedate hotel.

































               Picture: The Peacock and Royal Hotel was very extensive
            and extended several block to the rear, access through the
            “Coach arch” seen in the centre of the building.

               Short wooden steps allowed access to their interior of
            these cabins,  where staff from every local seed and
            agricultural merchant awaited to serve their farming clientele.
               Twisted and bent old iron chimneys poking from the
            curving wooden tarred roofs, poured sooty coal smoke around
            the square from their old fashioned stoves.
