History

Mrs Annie Rickard had established her store in 1906. In 1925, Nos. 20 & 22 housed Mrs Rickard's boot store and bootmaker John Reath. In 1923, H. G. Rickard was appointed manager after injuries received while serving in France during WWI prevented him resuming his previous occupation. In 1931, H. G. Rickard was secretary of the Claremont Business Men's Association. Richard's Shoe Store was still in business in 1949 and John Reath was still occupying the shop at No. 22.
In 1974, Home Building Society (HBS) remodelled the two shops considerably, creating a larger space for its offices at No. 20 and a very narrow shop space at No. 22. The Terrace Gardener plant shop occupied No. 22 in the early 1990s, with shrubs, herbs, pots, plants and statues for the garden and patio lining each side of its narrow space.
In 1986, HBS was in No. 20 and Debbie Prendiville's Bay View Gardening Centre was in No. 22. In the 21st Century, Home Building Society had relocated east to No. 46 and Friendlies Chemist had taken over No. 20. Sunglasses Hut was at No. 22.
