The site has associations with a social way of life no longer practised.
Roger Brown's shed opening onto the laneway near the Agricultural Hall became the venue for men to drink alcohol, as it was strictly prohibited at the dances. There was no licensed premises in the town, so the site was popular. It was men only. Brown was an enterprising business man from the early days of the town's development, and after the 1930s was a builder of some repute in the town. The site was later occupied by a boarding house, and now a private residence.
