Another superb post card. Again I've never seen this view before.

If nothing else, the Electricity Showrooms should have been saved.

Thank you for this photo which shows my great great grandparents' shop - Hogan's general stores was the building this side of the black and white Electricity Showrooms. I have never seen a clear photo of it before.

With reference to my previous comment, I should have said it was a grocery store.
