Photograph, Butchers - Bill and Gary Stephens, circa mid 80's

Historical information

Stephen's Butcher's shop operated after Couper's Butchers ceased. The site had always been a butchers shop, until Bill Stephens and his son Gary closed.
The reason why Bill Stephen ceased business was he liked to spread sawdust on the floor of the shop. When health regs deemed this practise not sanitary, Bill and Gary decided to close the business.

Significance

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