Update from plaque in Main Street, Foxton.

The view from Clyde Street dates from the early 1900s, prior to 1905. It was in that year that the old Bank of New Zealand building (next to the first telegraph pole on the left) was burnt down. Whytes Hotel is on the left and on the other side of White Street is the Red Store of M H Walker. A flag flies on the Post Office Hotel. On the right a group stands outside the building which was built as the Bank of Australasia and in the photograph is probably a doctor's surgery. It was also used by the Salvation Army Red Shield Club before it was burnt down.

Maud Annie Phillips first marriage was to Walter Mace Clark who setup the drapery shop in Oxford Street.

This is the second marriage for both of them. Walter Lett was a very gentle person. Also he molded Maud to being more generous in many ways and just one example was the donation of the lands she owned in Salisbury Street, to the RSA for the bowling green.
