Golden History Moment

Here’s something that may surprise you: the red brick building on the left, which looks so modern (-ish) is actually older than the two buildings on the right (the former mortuary).

If you compare the brickwork on the two closest buildings, you will recognize the ones above and below as being the same buildings. The next building (the one that says “OSBORNE” in the old photo and contains a florist and an antique store today) is a recognizable size, but in the mid-twentieth century, the owners removed the Victorian facade and replaced it with plain brick.
