The 'Copy Shop' in Walpole Street, Kew was located in the former Masonic Hall. It was a community operated facility. The 'shop' was designed for use by groups to run off leaflets or newsletters. It also served as a community space where people could drop in for a coffee and leave leaflets and information about events in the City of Kew. Two polaroid photographs, Thea Sartori in a red jumper is in both photographs. The woman in the pink cardigan is Aileen Cahill. Both photos were taken at the 'Copy Shop' in the old Masonic Hall [demolished] in Walpole Street. front: "Copy Shop"copy shop - walpole street - kew (vic), community facilities -- city of kew, masonic hall -- kew (vic.)

Hampshire Road became Sunshine’s main shopping centre in the early 1900s, expanded rapidly through the 1920s–1930s, flourished as a social hub in the post‑war decades, and remains the suburb’s central commercial strip. Early 1900s – First commercial strip forms The section between 72–98 Hampshire Road began trading in the first part of the 1900s, with early businesses including hairdressers, fruiterers, grocers, confectioners, newsagents, fishmongers, and tobacconists. 1920s–1930s – Rapid expansion of shops Multiple shop rows were built during this period, including: 68–70 Hampshire Road (built 1925) 72–98 Hampshire Road (shops operating by 1926–1930) 107–117 Hampshire Road (shops built 1923–1925) Businesses included grocers, butchers, confectioners, wood yards, dairies, and general stores—typical of a growing working‑class industrial suburb. 1930s–1940s – Social and civic hub emerges The strip became a major meeting place, especially around Homewood’s Café at 107–109 Hampshire Road, famous for its jukebox and proximity to the Sunshine Theatre, Town Hall, and Masonic Hall. It was a magnet for teenagers, servicemen, and families. Post‑war era – Consolidation as Sunshine’s main centre After WWII, Hampshire Road remained the suburb’s busiest commercial spine. Key features included: Cafés and milk bars Butchers and grocers Newsagents Timber yards Small specialty shops This period cemented Hampshire Road as Sunshine’s civic heart. 1960s – Renaming and redevelopment The section near the Town Hall (107–117 Hampshire Road) was renamed Sun Crescent in the 1960s, reflecting changes in road layout and civic planning Late 20th century – Modernisation Some older shop rows were demolished or redeveloped into service stations, townhouses, or new commercial buildings. Examples include: Demolition of the shop at 72 Hampshire Road (formerly Ted Whitten’s Foodland) Redevelopment of timber yards into townhouse complexes 2000s–present – Contemporary Sunshine CBD Hampshire Road continues as the primary retail and civic axis of Sunshine, hosting: Restaurants and cafés Grocers and specialty stores Medical clinics Banks and services Civic buildings and public spaces It remains the anchor of Sunshine’s designated Major Activity Centre.Sunshine Shopping Centre Hampshire Road 497.2sunshine shopping centre, hampshire road, sunshine
