Photograph - Photo, Widows function, Badge Week Stall

Historical information

Widows are conducting a sale of craft items in a shopping arcade. It is possible the items sold were those made for the annual Art and Craft Exhibitions. Widows would hold a stall in Badge Week, often outside Legacy House to sell items.
The Legacy signs say "Legacy caring for Australia's biggest family". The trading tables are outside a Boyles Sweets shop and a Franklins No Frills supermarket. Boyles Sweets closed down by July 1993 so it was before then. Names unknown.

Significance

A record of the type of activities Legacy provided as a social outlet for widows and fundraising for Legacy.
