History
No.127 and 127A were built in 1940 as two shops, which have been combined. In 1949 chemist Joseph Nicholls (or Nicholas?) and Syd Archibald's hardware store were the tenants. The pharmacy was J. Nicholas & Son by 1960. The Swanbourne Post Office was also housed in the pharmacy in the 1960s-1970s.
In 1972, when the premises they occupied at 105-115 were being redeveloped, Freecorn’s grocery moved to No.127. Around 1984, they increased their shop space by converting No.127A into their fruit and vegetable section. The pharmacy and post office moved to No.115. In 2002 the premises was a Foodland supermarket.
