Left photo - old photo from newspaper clipping showing the Chinese words that appeared on the left hand side shop front of a local provisions store. The shop can be seen still open with florescent lights on and with a folded up sliding gate
Middle left photo - taken shortly before the provisions store was closed in 2006, after 105 years of business in this area. The front sliding gate had already been replaced by a roller-shutter for some time, the big Chinese words on shopfront above the roller shutter were very much deteriorated, yet it can still tell the shop was once a supplier of rice grains to the local community
Middle right - after this provision store was closed, the new occupant who runs a French restaurant did preserve the original vertical frontage; but then after business changed hands, the present owner re-decorated the shop front with modern fitting out. There is no idea what is remained behind
Right photo - close-up of the original shop front, the decorator who made this terrazzo frontage did leave his company name and telephone number at the skirting, giving a hint that it was made in the 1950s or earlier (5 digit phone number)
Photo showing the inside of this local provisions store at times while still in business will be highly appreciated
