More about the store...

Governors Bay 1926

Now here's an interesting photo, especially in relation to an earlier post in which Murray Radcliffe commented on the original Governors Bay store. Here it is, on the left hand side of the road, quite a substantial building. Jones' Motors is on the right, where the store was later located and where She Cafe is now. 

There are some other intriguing features in this photo. On the left, above the store roof, I can see a framework which might be part of Tapley's cherry cages?? Someone might correct me on that - or confirm it. The jetties are interesting. The one in the distance at Sandy Bay Point would still have been in use. The Governors Bay jetty, on the right, had its final lengthening completed in 1927. Is it possible that they are actually working on it in this photo? Too indistinct to be sure...

Does anyone know who the two men in the foreground are?

Finally, my apologies. I've been trying to keep a record of where photos have come from - libraries, museums, locals... My record keeping hasn't always been the best and I can't acknowledge this one I'm afraid. If and when I can, I will!
