Andrew Strail's blacksmith Shop, on the west side of North Street, Tully was built about 1852. This shop was taken over by Grazier G. Dean who was also a veterinarian. He is shown here holding the reins of a nicely groomed horse. Photo was taken in 1894. Years later the building used for automotive purposes and was demolished in 1954. It was replaced by a cinder block building which was also later razed. Richard Palmer blog.
