Photo of Constable and Hall Cartaker John Garrod clearing snowy sidewalks

In this black and white photograph from circa 1925, Constable John Garrod is depicted standing in deep snow outside Newcastle Community Hall, holding a shovel, dressed in heavy winter attire for warmth. The backdrop showcases a snow-covered street with large snowbanks lining the path and flanked by a tall, wooden utility pole and brick buildings, illustrating the challenges of winter in a historic community. The cloudy sky and distant figures add to the nostalgic, serene, and chilly atmosphere of the scene.
