Statement of Significance
This building has very high local significance for aesthetic (townscape) and social reasons.
Physical Description
Rendered stone shops with verandahs over pavements, CGI roof behind rendered parapets. Shopfront windows
and doors are original and the interior is reasonably authentic. Overall, the building is a very important element of
the streetscape and, along with several other examples, illustrates components of early Northampton architecture.
These should guide development and appearance of new buildings or restoration of others in cases where original
details are not known. It is thought that the central wall dividing the original shops occupying the southern portion
of the building was removed many years ago. (Barbara Williams)
(There is a residence behind the shops, however this was not assessed.)
History
This shop originally was owned by Henry Carson. In December 1918 he sold it to Walter E. Stokes. Max Williams
purchased the business in 1947 and ran the store with his wife Helen, sisters Dawn Stewart and Maureen Ash and
sister-in-law, Cecily Williams. The building was formerly used as a saddlery, barber, billiard saloon and general
store. (Northampton Historical Society)
Geoff and Joy Cripps purchased the business in 2003.
