History

These two brick shops were first listed in the Rate Books in 1910-11 and owned by Bullock Bros.
Butcher James G. McIntosh moved his business to No.40 from No.6 in 1920. His neighbour in No.38 was bootmaker Thomas Rogers. By 1923, McIntosh had expanded into a wholesale butchery with partners Fry and Morley, and this part of the business was located at No.38. By 1930, however, No.38 was vacant and J. & L. Baker Ltd were the butchers in No.40. Five years later, No.38 was the premises of hairdresser G. W. Knight. Both these tenants were still in occupation in 1949.
In 1986, Picnic, owned by Michael and Jo Ahern, was at No.38 and Friendlies Society Chemist at No.40. In the 21st Century, Friendlies Chemist had relocated to No.20, while Picnic remained and another boutique occupied No.40.
In 1903-04, the land between Walt Drabble Lane and the Drabble building, being Lot 67, was vacant and was owned by Miss Maud Jackson of 'Adair', Victoria Rd, Fremantle. There were four shops recorded on this site by 1910-11, but whether they were all in their current form is uncertain. At least one was rebuilt in 1916-17.
