You never really know what images are important, so please throw nothing away, donate it to a museum or a collector such as myself. Case in point this image which was recently discovered amongst the Taylor collection and made available by the Princeton Museum. This image of Blakeburns famous Caldonian Club Pipe Band, also provides the best , as yet, view of the Bunkhouse. As well as a good sampling of the people, children and vehicles et all. Note that the Bunkhouse here is unpainted. Unearthed physical evidence suggests that it may have been painted blue. Any thoughts or suggestions, please post em here, thankyou.

With the updated Blakeburn Grand Map now complete, it seems appropriate to present to you this little picture. Blakeburn. 1926 together with the labeled buildings was kindly donated by Robert S. Murray (that is correct, one of the Blakeburn Murray's ). Mr. Murray was very helpful in the updating of the Blakeburn Grand Map. Any comments on this photo or the labels are appreciated.
