Around 1930, the Bennett Brothers' garage replaced a produce store that had operated since the 1860s. The house has had numerous owners and functions since it was owned by Joseph Shepherd in the 1880s - among other things it has been used as an opportunity shop, and as a laundromat.Black and white photograph of two buildings on the east side of Sussex Street, Linton.

Carrie Rogers Murrell, b.1905 at Daylesford, was a daughter of William Murrell and his wife Lily, née Clarke/Young. She was a grand-daughter of Ambrose and Mary Murrell. Carrie Murrell attended Linton State School, completing Grade 8 in 1n 1918. She then assisted her father in the Linton newsagency, before taking over as its manager, a role she enjoyed for some seventy years. In 1932 she moved the business from its site on the west side of Sussex Street to the east side, into a shop next to the Railway Hotel that had previously been run as a shoe shop by Dan Cornish. This shop remained as the Linton Newsagency until Carrie retired. It is now used as a private residence. Carrie Murrell died in 1998.Colour photo of Murrell's Newsagency, Miss Murrell seated in front doorway.carrie murrell, linton newsagency

James Garland Colliver lived and worked in Linton between 1863 and 1875, when he moved to Donald. He was actively involved in Linton's business and community life. (See Colliver family file at LDHS.) This photograph may show two adjacent business premises on the east side of Sussex Street, north of Clyde Street: Edwin Ball or Ball Brothers, blacksmiths, and J.G. Colliver, "Machinist". The Ball and Colliver families were related and are understood to have worked collaboratively. A plan of Sussex Street drawn up in 1871 (in LDHS collection -Reg. no. 2013-25) shows an allotment on the east side owned by 'Colliver' next to a slightly larger allotment owned by 'Ball'.Original small, sepia photograph showing premises of "J G Colliver - Machinist" with workmen in front."J G Collivers shop about 100 years ago".j. g. colliver, wheelwright, carpenter, coachbuilder, workers

William Murrell ran a newspaper shop on the west side of Sussex Street until 1932, when he moved his business to a site formerly occupied by Dan Cornish (who ran it as a shoe shop).

Information in the "Linton - Sussex Street East Side" file and in the Bennett family file says that Bennett Bros opened their garage in Sussex Street in 1928. Information in the "Linton - Sussex Street East Side (Title Searches)" file shows that Mrs Violet Annie Shepherd owned the property next to the garage from 1939, although she had probably been running it since the early 1930s (her mother was the previous owner of the building).Black and white photograph which shows Bennett Bros service station (a brick building), next to Shepherd's "greengrocer and confectionery" store (a weatherboard building), in Sussex Street, Linton. There are two petrol bowsers outside the garage, and a car parked in the street in front of Shepherd's shop. A sign across part of the garage building reads "CARS FOR HIRE".bennett bros garage, shepherd's greengrocer and confectionery shop, buildings, shops, sussex street linton

Photograph taken from high vantage point further along Sussex Street. Visible east side: Edinburgh Bakery, Preston's shop, Wishart's blacksmiths. Church of England vicarage in the distance. Visible west side: roofs of Morgan's and Sandow's stores. The photograph is undated but thought to have been taken in the 1940s, as there are electricity poles in the street. (Electricity came to Linton in 1939).Very small photograph of Sussex Stret, Linton, view to south-east.sussex street linton

Photograph dated to between 1903 and 1914. The original wooden buildings of the Railway Hotel were removed in early 1903 and a brick replacement erected that year. James Nelson (who ran the undertaker's business shown next to the hotel) died in 1914 and the business was afterwards run as 'Nelson Bros. Undertakers' by his three sons.This is a cropped version of a photograph (Registration no. 338) which shows both east and west sides of Sussex Street. The photograph has been mounted on card (for use at LDHS exhibition, 1983). sussex street linton, railway hotel linton, james nelson undertaker, linton public library

The photograph can be dated to after 1911, as the Surface Hill hotel (between Morgan and Ching stores) appears to have already been demolished (this happened in 1911).Black and white copy of original photograph, which shows east and west sides of Sussex Street, from Morgan's store to Gillespie Street. On the left of the photo (east side of street), there is a glimpse of Patrick O'Sullivan's saddlery shop, then G. G. Bennett's butcher's shop, Nicol's bakery, Wise's drapery, and further along the street the verandah of Preston's store can be seen. On the west side, there is a glimpse of J. H. Morgan's grocery store, Ching's produce store, and Annie Brown's newsagency (Annie Brown nee Annie Nicholls). Two horse-drawn vehicles are in the street. There is a telegraph pole near Morgan's shop.sussex street linton, g.g. bennett bucher's shop, nicol's bakery, wise's drapery, j h morgan grocery store, ching's produce store, annie brown's newsagency

Photograph taken in 1982, shows three houses on east side of Sussex Street: the former Shepherd greengrocery and confectionery store and dwelling (at the time still lived in by Ted Shepherd), an 'interwar' house located on the site of Patrick O'Sullivan's saddlery, and the Bennett residence which was constructed in 1928 and replaced the Bennett family's butcher's shop.Black and white photograph of three houses in Sussex Street, Linton.

The house lived in by Maisie Hart is thought to have been moved to the site in the 1950s after the house formerly on the site burned down. The Linton Library had closed in 1975, and the Nelson Undertakers' building had not yet been renovated to become the Linton & District Historical Society Resource Centre. The licensees of the Railway Hotel at the time were O. & E. Webley. Carrie Murrell ran the Linton newsagency until her death in 1998.Black and white photograph showing five buildings in Sussex Street, Linton, as they were in 1982. From left-right in photo, buildings are (1) house, at the time lived in by Maisie Hart, on the site of a former Todd family home, (2) the Linton Free Library building, (3) the former Nelson undertakers' building, (4) the Railway Hotel, (5) Murrell's Newsagency.maisie hart, linton free library building, nelson undertakers building, railway hotel, murrell's newsagency, o. & e. webley, carrie murrell

Buildings shown on west side of Sussex Street: Criterion House, at the time occupied by Murrell's Newsagency, the Grenville Shire civic hall and offices, the shop at one time occupied by J. Y. Clarke, barber & tobacconist. The roof of Barr's shop and dwelling can be seen (the building itself is obscured by a tree), and houses further along the street owned by J.G. Allan, Ernest Ball and Oscar Ball. The Royal Standard Hotel appears to have been demolished. On the east side of the street, the roof and signage of the Railway Hotel is visible, and the roof of Cornish's shoe shop. The photograph is undated but was probably taken in between the late 1920s (when the Royal Standard Hotel was demolished) and 1932, when the Murrell family moved its newsagency into the building on the other side of the street previously occupied by Dan Cornish. Note: a gap between the Shire Hall and the next building suggests that the shop and dwelling originally occupied by the Austin family has been demolished.Black and white copy of original photograph which has been mounted on blue card. Photograph shows shops and houses in Sussex Street, Linton, and appears to have been taken from a high vantage point, possibly the fire tower which was located in Sussex Street.
