Great to see this photo. Visited this site of Capleston in February when in Reefton for 150 years celebration.

Great pic Heather. Looking down Church St. My Great Great Grandparents pub left of the church, and my G G G Grandparents pub 2nd from far right , with Williams 'Globe Hotel' in-between, plenty of choices for a thirsty goldminer in the day
