The Old Buckerfield’s building on Selby Street?
WOOO HOOO! We have a winner! Yes, the now-demolished Heritage Fly Museum was indeed housed in the front window of the no-longer-there Buckerfield’s building on Selby. If you give me your address, Theresa, I will mail you your prize. 😉
Fascinating photograph!
