This wider view from a different angle in 1916 proves the location of the Hallam Cycle Agency. (Tasmanian Illustrated Mail 16 Mar 1916)

Alfred De Jersey's Boot Emporium. The earlier shop was demolished some time between 1947 and 1953 to build the new two storey De Jersey's store. The original residence was left intact behind the new retail building.
