History

The early PWD WA plans and the Diag. 2504 from Office of Titles do not illustrate the street frontage shop and rooms, although a building is shown at the rear of the block in the PWD plans. However, from 1908, the PWD plans do indicate the front premises. The pre-1880 shop and rooms with cottage at the rear, located next to the Norfolk Hotel, has been completely demolished. An inspection of the site may reveal traces of stone wall and foundation since the land appears to drop away. This is numbers 55-57 South Terrace. Currently (2010) Renown Tyres.
