They still had Pictons top hat there, (complete with hole) which I believe has since been moved? and lot's of other Waterloo personal items..... are they still on display? I recall the Ponsonby snuff box for example and other items. We used to enjoy the local pubs around there too, so it was always worth the trip :-)<br /><br />I wasn't sure about those dummies when I first saw your pics, but they are growing on me slowly! I must get myself back there sometime, thanks for posting.
