Sparks Bros. shop is on the right hand side of Murchison Street (opposite the Town Hall) in this post-siege photo. Having lived in Ladysmith, I would have passed this spot many times but, sadly, the old buildings are long gone.

An excellent picture, Rory.

I can remember standing on the table in the town hall to take a picture of the portrait of David Sparks that sits high up on the wall in the main chamber.

The Town Hall is still damaged in this photo. Does anyone know when it was repaired?
