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.
