Summary

Decorated street scene on the occasion of the opening of the Gawler Town Hall, 20 November 1878. The grand opening caused much excitement in the town and the local shops were decorated for the occasion. This photograph shows an archway which had been created over Murray Street. The attached banners read "God Save the Queen" and "Welcome Sir Jervois". A crown made from light bulbs adorns the top of the banner and flags are flying on either side of the arch.
