There is no entry in the Land Titles system for an H Edwards in New Norfolk.  The building does not quite match the structure of the known building at this location at this time period.  The surrounding buildings do not match.  However in his 1936 obituary, Harry Edwards is spoken of as a New Norfolk businessman.  More research needed.

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.
