    Intersection in the town of Mossman, Queensland, ca. 1910
    Description

    Postcard of the intersection of Mill and Front Streets at Mossman, around 1910, with the Exchange Hotel on the right. Back of postcard reads: 'Sunday 30th July. Dear Minnie, These are the only views I could get. The little bit of Front Street you can see is the Chinese side. We live on the other side further up. This hotel is on the corner of both streets. Our street is very dark in the nights. I got a new hat and shoes for Anne last Friday. On Saturday night we went to the pictures and after we bought 5 hot pies and took them home to eat and it rained all the way home. Tell Joy there is a registered letter for her this mail. I am posting it on Tuesday. Goodbye for this time. K. D. Jones'. Mill Street is the street lined with telegraph poles in the centre, and Front Street runs in front of the hotel.
