This section is for shops and buildings that we need help to work out where they were located. If you can help us out, we would love to hear from you.

Where was this - what is on the site today? Update: Its in Pioneer Avenue and was later the Crump blacksmith.

Where was this - somewhere in Charles Street behind the cinema? What is on the site today?
FB Wilkinson Pharmacy - date unknown. I am not sure this is actually New Norfolk? In 1890 there were several Hobart stores - F Percy Brooks at 97 Elizabeth Street, Frederick Brooks at 90 Elizabeth Street and Frederick P Brooks at 49 Hampden Road Hobart. I can’t find any evidence that there was more than the one store in New Norfolk and that was located at 54 High Street. It would be highly unusual to have more than one store in a small regional centre.
