The street address was previously 49 George Street, Camperdown. A fire broke out in the factory next door in January 1911 and burned down Skelly’s stable and the sulky inside it. Skelly had to move when his rented property on this corner was resumed, but he later bought his own shop on Parramatta Road. This view shows men and woman on the pavement in front of the store, a lamp post and horse drawn cart.LanguageEnglish (eng)Special citationThe façade of Thomas Skelly’s produce store is covered with theatre posters and advertisements for Sunol tobacco, Orkney Whisky and Van Houten's Cocoa.
