Seddons first store was sited up on Scandinavian Ridge above Goldsborough, an old forestry road along the ridge ran through or just past where a group of stores were located.

Look at the beautiful native trees in the background

I understand Louie Seebeck had his butcher shop set up then too. His son Albert was born in 1877 so probably a bit earlier that that
This photo is of it well established in 1890. Kids are well grown in the photo

I’ve always thought this photo was of Main St / Greenstone Rd as it has the little hill to the right and the long building on the left to where the intersection with Seddon St may have been later.
