← 02 Charles Street - ◦ - 08-10 Charles Street →

This property is on two titles - the left hand shop on one title and the right hand shop with residence on the second.

Some time between 1947 and 1963 the galvanised metal and weatherboard workshop buildings were demolished and two brick shops were built on the site, not necessarily at the same time. The right hand shop appears to be earlier.

Later the wall between the two shops was knocked out to make a single shop.

  • Cannell & Co Blacksmith & Wheelwright (-1915 - 1921?)

  • LEFT SHOP
  • Berry & Templeton Jewellers (late 1940s to 1952+)
  • Accounting & Financial Services P/L (-1995+)

  • RIGHT SHOP
  • Lena Rice General Store (-1955+)
  • Sweet Memories Lolly Shop (-1995+)

  • COMBINED
  • St Vincent de Paul (2007)
  • Tinsalz Dress Shop (2009 - 2010)
  • Aunt Irma's Antiquities (2012)
  • Not Just Lollies (2012 to 2015)
  • Derwent Valley Beauty (-2016+)
  • The Finer Things Antiques & Treasures (2024)

Sale ad from the Mercury in 1923
We think this earlier photo shows the view from the side where Cannell's Blacksmith & Wheelwright ran the length of what is now the left hand shop.
This photo shows Nicholas and Charles James Cannell in the workshop maybe 1920? (Photo courtesy of ?)
We think this later photo shows the same building from the front where it faces onto Charles Street. The property was sold in 1924 after the death of Catherine Cannell, the widow of Charles Cannell, in 1922.
Robbery at Berry & Templeton's Jewellers & Watchmakers in 1952 (Mercury 12 July 1952)
While doing renovations, the old signage for Lena Rice's store was revealed. We have two possible dates 10 years apart - Lena Rice's son Ian says this was revealed in 1985 - however the couple who ran the lolly shop and did the renovations say it was 1995. More research needed! Lena Rice moved to this location from 35 High Street in approximately 1954. (Photo courtesy of Ian Rice)
