Where are we?
Did you get it right?
Bulletin 6/2021 September 2021
Michael Collins identified the location as on St Johns Rd near the Town Hall.
The recent photo shows a wonderfully preserved ‘Ghost Sign’ on what was an external wall of 93 St Johns Rd, the site of John George Purves’ steam bakery.
Purves, after whom a nearby street is named, was President of the Master Bakers’ Association and six of his sons became bread makers.
His story was told in Bulletin 7/2016.

I wonder if he was related to John Mitchell Purves, NSW Parliamentarian?
