View of York

This page from the Eastern Districts Chronicle, Saturday 18 February 1893, is an artist's impression of York and the principal businesses in town. The Wool and J.H Monger and Co. Produce Store buildings still stand on Avon Terrace, and is nowadays the site where the York Society and Archival Centre is located. The site is a significant reminder of the sandalwood industry, and the only known site of its type in Western Australia.
