This is a picture of Thomas Bow Lamartine Street. Thomas Bow were celebrating 150 years in business and were asking for pictures and information of their past. I sent this picture. The only information I have regarding it is that I think one of the men in the picture is my mothers brother Trevor Swain who I never met. If anybody has any more information I would be very interested.

As a young man my granddad Frank Frost (2nd from the R.) worked at this bakers; it would have been early 1900's. I don't know where this was but as he lived on Dame Agnes St and later Manning St it most likely was in St Ann's if anyone knows I'd love to hear.
