| * Scarr's Happy Home Store
| | [[File:Cannell_Blacksmith_and_Wheelwright.jpg|600px|thumb|left|Where was this - what is on the site today? Update: Could it be the same building that later became the Crump Blacksmith in Pioneer Avenue?]] |

| [[File:Zzz_Andrewartha.jpg|400px|thumb|left|Andrewartha Emporium 1906]] | |
| Update: I am pretty sure this was located on the site of the subway store. I also think this might be where Andrewartha's store was located.

|
| This is a substantial store, and buildings this size would normally be built on land owned by the proprietor. There are no entries in the Land Titles system under the name Scarr for New Norfolk.
| | [[File:High_Street_85_FB_Wilkinson_Pharmacy.jpg|600px|thumb|left|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.]] |
| | |
| There are several references to a Scarr's Happy Home Store located in Elizabeth Street (Hobart) on Trove.

| * H Edwards Bootmaker (1920)
| |
| 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.

| |
| * Hallam Cycle Agency
| |
| | |
| Update : I believe this shop was demolished to build the new De Jersey's store. The building is very similar to A De Jersey's Boot Emporium before they built the more substantial 2 storey store.
| |
| | |
| This doesn't appear to be the site of the current New Norfolk Newsagency - there is a substantial house where Hackett Street should be.
| |
| | |
| Several articles and advertising in Trove indicate that the Hallam Cycle Agency was located at 65 Liverpool Street and then later at 83 Liverpool Street Hobart.

| |
| * Andrewartha Store
| |
| | |
| Update: This was originally published as being where Stella Potter/Jillett store was located. I think it is more likely to be the shop that housed Scarr's and Browne.
| |
| | |
| I cannot find any comparable streetscape to match in New Norfolk. No record in Land Titles system of Andrewartha owning real estate in New Norfolk. I did find a CH Andrewartha who managed the family furniture store in Richmond Victoria in 1930 - is that a "CH" I can see on the awning? A clearer photo will help. | |
