Provenance

Notes

This photograph was originally owned by Robert Crawford, and later donated to the Broomfield Depot Museum in 2013 with several other photographs and documents. Much of the material pertains to Robert's father, Miles Crawford, who was Broomfield's postmaster from 1944 to 1966, as well as to the general history of Broomfield from the late nineteenth century onward.
