Sail Family Gallery
Ada Sail was born in 1916 at 39 Crabb Street. She kept a diary from 1931 to 1946, and later made additions somewhat spasmodically.
The diaries were found by her nephew Graham Holloway after she died in December 2007, together with over 100 photographs dating
from 1890 to 1990. Most of the photographs have the date & name on the back.
