This shop suffered the same fate as the Longford Store (see previous post) but was lively and active when I sat on the bank opposite and boldly scratched it into my pad. It serviced local farmers and the traffic that passed on the Nelson to Murchison highway.
I tried to find any hint of its existence some years later but it had disappeared without trace. I am pleased to have recorded it for history's sake.
