Historical information

This photograph depicts Joy Rainey (leftmost), Keith Rainey (rightmost), and another child. Joy and Keith look slightly younger than they do in another photograph from 1951, so it is likely this photograph was taken in the late 1940s. They are riding a cart owned by H. Wilson, the baker at Emerald - the old bakery was once at what is now the rear of 1 Kilvington Drive.

Significance

This photograph depicts members of a significant local family.

Physical description

This item is a black and white photograph. The reverse features printed technical information and handwritten annotations. In the photograph are three children in a horsecart; a girl sits on the edge of the cart on the left, while two boys are on the seat looking over their shoulders to face the camera. The cart has writing on the side advertising the Emerald bakery; it is pulled by a single horse. The immediate background features a dirt road proceeding into trees; in the far background a wooded hill rises behind the cart.
