A couple of rare pictures of the crowd gathering and the dedication of the Boer War memorial.
There were a couple of letters written to the Mercury about the need to put the memorial there where it would be seen by all the visitors that came to Clevedon. However for once no notice was taken and the Boer War memorial has graced the position ever since.
I think they are the only two photos that have survived. One as a bettered post card which I photographed and repaired, the other as a glass negative that I copied over to a positive.
