Er..... not to piss anyone off, but I was asking that as a matter of fact, coz, I don;t have the answer either, but I was hoping one of you "older" timers, ie. Creedy, Molloy, Haycox might know more......

[Chris Macpherson]

Flora FRY or Dianas" mom Elsie would definitly know.

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

I remember the store looking like that and we arrived in 1960. I had a pram like the one in the pic and my brother had that car/cart thingy on the top left. That was bought in O'mund so I'm guessing 1962. I would have been 7 and Keith 3. My mom also dressed that way.

That  store was  still in the  building  where the post office and butchery  as we knew it was ...   I  would hazard ..   mid 50 's ..  the new store with the high ceilings  I think came into existence   late 50's //

The pic was almost certainly '56 or earlier for two reasons: skirt lengths were much higher at the beginning of the Sixties but, more importantly, the new store was already in operation by the late Fifties.
If my memory serves me right, that particular part of the old store building later housed the bottle store and another section a hairdressing salon.

I also just went according to clothing - have a picture of my Mom from 1956-57 with almost same dress and hairstyle...

If you zoom into the picture, on the left hand side of the counter is the Argus newspaper, you will see the date as April 1st 1954,

Anyone else see this?

[Bertie Horak]

Either I'm blind or you're looking at a different or "un-cropped" picture Mike.  Don't see it at all.  How about an arrow to show us??

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Either I'm also blind or you drunk.

[Bertie Horak]

  Diana.  Now I KNOW I'm not blind, and that SOMEBODY might very well be drunk and forgot about the 30 days....

[Stephanie Van Niekerk]

Ag no man...  Michael, you are so typical male.  Read the paper and threw it on the floor. Please put the paper back where is was... How are we suppose to see the date now??????
