The Linton Post Office building, erected in 1880, was still operational in 1982. The former Bennett family and later Todd family butcher's shop is understood to have been built in 1858. In 1982 it was a private dwelling occupied by the Jarvis family; the house on the right (lived in at the time by Maisie Hart) is thought to have been moved to the site in the 1950s, after fire destroyed an earlier house on the site.Black and white photograph showing three buildings in Sussex Street, Linton, as they were in 1982 : the Linton Post Office, the former Bennett butcher's shop, and a house lived in at the time by Maisie Hart.linton post office building, bennett's butchers, jarvis family, maisie hart

The house lived in by Maisie Hart is thought to have been moved to the site in the 1950s after the house formerly on the site burned down. The Linton Library had closed in 1975, and the Nelson Undertakers' building had not yet been renovated to become the Linton & District Historical Society Resource Centre. The licensees of the Railway Hotel at the time were O. & E. Webley. Carrie Murrell ran the Linton newsagency until her death in 1998.Black and white photograph showing five buildings in Sussex Street, Linton, as they were in 1982.

This copy of the photograph was donated in 2014 by Peter Stapleton, who understood it may have been taken around 1921. However the ages of pupils identified in the photograph suggest it was taken a year or so earlier.Copy of a black and white photograph showing pupils at Linton State School posed for a photograph outside the school building.jack gordon stapleton, marie victoria stapleton, marie victoria fletcher, mabel (maisie) stapleton, mabel (maisie) hart, linton state school no. 880

Leanne and Janette were the twin daughters of Reginald and Margaret Wilson. Reginald was a baker in Linton (the last baker to work from the former Nicol bakery in Sussex Street). The girls were born on 31st March 1965 and baptised 2nd May 1965. Baptism record Nos.: 852 & 853. School records show that the girls started school at Linton February 1970 before transferring to Macedon at the end of that year. In note from Leslie Cairns (née Hart) dated 4 November 2019: "My mum and dad spent quite some time at that bakery. Mum - Maisie Hart - used to enjoy working in the shop among the very special food, whilst Dad - Bill Hart - loved looking after the children especially the twin girls. They were very sad when the owners, Reg and Marg Wilson bought a bakery in Morowa - inland from Geraldton in West Australia. Competition from large bread companies was ruining their business. Mum and Dad were their "adopted grandparents" and on at least two occasions travelled over there to help when Marg wasn't well."Black and white image of twin girls playing on a swing.
