Rozelle, shops

These shops are located on the corner of Darling Street and Belmore Street, in the inner west suburb of Rozelle. The building was built in 1897 and is one of the few remaining shopfronts with a veranda and awning above the footpath.

  1. From at least one of the signs, it would seem to be that a newspaper or two has offices there as well.

    1. William, that's a newsagency which predominantly sells newspapers and magazines. Every suburb in Sydney has one or more of these, although they are starting to become endangered species in some places these days.

    2. Thanks for the answer. I wondered, as there are a couple of newspapers here that have their offices out of relatively small buildings.

  6. So much history must have passed through that building. It looks quite nice and has a great railing around it.
