Historical information

Stephen's Butcher's shop in Main Road Emerald (near intersection of Emerald-Monbulk Road) operated after Couper's Butchers ceased. The site had always been a butcher's shop, until Bill Stephens and his son Gary closed their shop due to new health regulations preventing them from spreading sawdust on the floor of the shop which had been traditionally done.

Significance

The butcher shop was the site of the original abattoir for Emerald and surrounding district.
