Is this New Norfolk?

This section is for shops and buildings previously published as being located in New Norfolk, that are not supported by our current research. We will state our reasons and if you think we are wrong, we would love to hear from you.

• Scarr's Happy Home Store

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.

There are several references to a Scarr's Happy Home Store located in Elizabeth Street (Hobart) on Trove.

Although the building bears a superficial resemblance to one located the New Norfolk, there are also subtle differences.

• Edwards

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.

Hallam Cycle Agency circa 1910

This is not the site of the current New Norfolk Newsagency - look at the substantial house where Hackett Street should be.

Andrewartha Emporium 1906

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.
