Physical description

Black and white photograph of two men (Bert Rutherford on left, Alwyn Roberts on right), wearing grocer's aprons, standing next to a truck which is parked outside H. R. Morgan's shop in Sussex Street, Linton. Miss Carrie Murrell's head can be seen on the other side of the truck. She has apparently just thrown a doormat at the two men. This can be seen as a shadow in the photograph, above Alwyn Roberts' head.
