Grace Mitchell, a talented artist in later life and baker, managed a pastry shop business near the corner of Mount Pleasant and Main roads, Eltham in the 1950s. Shortly after her marriage to Arthur Mitchell in 1948, Arthur incurred a head injury from an accident and was unable to work. Grace realised she needed to be home to care for her husband as well as earn an income. She managed the bureaucracy of council permits, and made modifications to her home with savings to get the business off the ground without having to borrow money. Grace and Arthur were avid gardeners and would grow, wash and mince vegetables for pasties while Grace handmade and rolled the pastry. They cooked and minced their own meat for the pies and the fruit for the sweet pies came from their orchard at the rear of the property. She also baked scones and cakes. With weekend visitors travelling to Eltham on the train for days trips, her reputation grew as the spot for afternoon tea. Grace’s daughter Jenni mentions the visit of dancer, Robert Helpmann and U.S. actress Katherine Hepburn in her Grace Mitchell: a short history [2012]. Reminiscences in We did open a school in Little Eltham: Eltham Primary School 209, 1856-2006 a history [2006] include a mention of Grace’s famous pastry shop and the Sunday afternoon visit by Helpmann and Hepburn. Grace operated her pastry shop for over 16 years. She supported the Shillinglaw Cottage Preservation Campaign to preserve the cottage through its Flavour of Eltham community cookbook published in 1964 and hosted cooking classes in the new Living and Learning Centre. Grace Mitchell passed away aged 95 years in 2011.

Black and white photograph of a young soldier in uniform, and identified in a (contemporary) typed label as C A J Dollman (Charles Arthur John Dollman, known as Jack). On stiff card backing and burnt along the right hand edge of the photograph. Dollman did not serve in World War One, so it was possibly taken at the time of the Boer War. Based on his year of birth he would have been 19 in 1900. Part of the Dollman collection.

Sepia toned postcard photograph of a young man on a partially burned postcard. The right hand side of the photograph is missing. The photograph was originally in the Dollman family album and when it was removed most of the writing on the back was destroyed. The words 'Christ C .... ope' and 'unswick 1913' are still visible, so it is likely that it was made for Christ Church Brunswick's Band of Hope in about 1913. The young man can be identified from other photographs in the album. He is Charles Arthur John (Jack) Dollman (1881-1953). Part of the Dollman collection.

Fire damaged studio portrait of a middle aged male wearing a 2 piece dark suit, shirt with rounded collar and dark tie. He has been identified from other photographs as C A J Dollman (Charles Arthur John Dollman, known as Jack), Brunswick resident, Brunswick councillor 1945-1950 and member of the first Brunswick Historical Association, established in 1937. He died at his home 27 Fitzgibbon Avenue, West Brunswick in 1953 aged 73. Part of the Dollman colleciton.
