| Along Oakville Road, Willoughby stands this wonderfully preserved example of late Victorian shop frontage, now housing a private studio. Originally designed to sell stock feed, the verandahed shop was attached to the building next door (separated by a U-shaped internal courtyard) which was the main shop with private residence at rear. This is just how I remember my grandmother's shop in Florence Street Hornsby, which she owned from 1931 until 1956, even down to the stock feed, which she sold from massive hessian (or jute) sacks along the wall with their tops rolled down, and a metal scoop lying on the inside. |

It's a gorgeous old shop front, Julie.

Alas, poor Mickey! I knew him, Julie: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy...
This is a very quaint shop front providing a great reminder of days gone by. Sadly it also looks like the days have passed poor Mickey too.
What an odd piece of artwork.
Strange but cool.
A very creative piece of art :)
Have a nice day!
Mmm ... I very much liked the art work.
Love this shop and the history Julie but "Mickey" creeped me out! HA
