Caption 39
The Grove-Mahakipawa-Havelock mail coach paused at Cullensville. This is in the late 1890s, and the driver is thought to be James Patrick Campbell. He has stopped just outside Harry Edmond's residence - Ivy Cottage. Notice the let-down canvas for wet weather protection covering the sides of the coach. Although Campbell doesn't appear to have many passengers, or much of a load, there would have been times when he was glad of his five horses, especially when carrying machinery, and food orders, when traversing the steep, winding hill road from Havelock, complete with Winter ruts, and dust in Summer. 2009.067.0034
