DETAILS

TitleInterior view of a portion of Piggott's General Store at Strathpine, ca. 1938DescriptionOne of the first bakeries in the Strathpine area was built in 1882 by Richard William Piggott who, with his wife Ellen and other members of the family, operated the bakery, and later a general store, until the business closed down in 1961. This evocative photograph gives substance to memories of what a typical Australian general store was like prior to World War 2 (WWII). The owner of Piggott's General Store at that time, Edgar Walter Piggott, is shown with a local boy, Reg Mole. Mr Mole later became associated with a gravel trucking business in the Pine Rivers Shire.Dateca. 1938Record typePhotographFormat typePhysicalOriginal format colourSepia
