These images are a selection from a photo album which belonged to A. J. (Jack) Petherick, who owned Rona from 1909 - 1919/20. The album was shared with us by Graham Petherick, one of his grandsons.
The images are in order of appearance in the album. The text accompanying are their captions as written in the album.
