History
A Tearooms, grocery shop and Drapers were built for EJ Rogers whose daughter Mrs Reynoldson, later took over. In December 1931, MR WF Williams took over a lease on the premises, and left in 1935, when the lease expired. During his time, a fundraising dance was held in a "barn" at the back of the shops, for the Anglican Church. The newsagency was sold to Mr Stonestreet jnr. During the depression the Tearooms went broke, and Stonestreet set up his bakery in the rear of the building. The bakehouse & ovens are still in evidence.
