A picture showing how narrow the junction of St Catherine's Place and Shore Street was before the road was widened. A far cry from the wide open spaces at the roundabout these days.

I think it was around 62 or 63 new cattle sheds were built on the Pier to replace it.

Prior to being at Shore Street his premises were in West Castle Street on the north side at it's corner with Great Western Road. It was at this store I can remember seeing a species of monkey eating peanuts in the window.(How's that for a piece of useless information?)
