Some jarring sights... One of the oldest houses
in the Griff has been boarded up as have the adjacent buildings on Mountain just north of Wellington on the east side.
Friend of Coolopolis Boxelman lived in that small house at 175 Murray for many years and I visited several times.
It is said to have been built by a schoolteacher in about 1830 and moved somehow moved back when the street was widened, that's one theory anyway.
The second floor ceilings are very low, that's what I can tell you for sure.
Sad to think it will likely disappear. I'll endeavour to contact the owner once the evalweb is back running.
The third image shows the newly-denuded corner of Bridge and Wellington, which has been stripped down right down Wellington, as reported here recently.
