This building started life as two shops - at some stage the wall was knocked out to make a single shop.

  • LEFT SHOP
  • Berry & Templeton (late 1940s to 1952+)
  • Accounting & Financial Services P/L (-1995+)

  • RIGHT SHOP
  • Lena Rice General Store (-1955+)
  • Sweet Memories Lolly Shop (-1995+)

  • COMBINED
  • St Vincent de Paul (2007)
  • Tinsalz Dress Shop (2009)
  • Aunt Irma's Antiquities (2012)
  • Not Just Lollies (2012 to 2015)
  • Derwent Valley Beauty
  • The Finer Things Antiques & Treasures (2024)

While doing renovations, the old signage for Lena Rice's store was revealed. We have two possible dates 10 years apart - Lena Rice's son Ian says this was revealed in 1985 - however the couple who ran the lolly shop and did the renovations say it was 1995. More research needed! Lena Rice moved to this location from 35 High Street in approximately 1954. (Photo courtesy of Ian Rice)
