Joan Brewell, via Facebook:
"It had a menswear, hardware, groceries, a deli, furniture, floor coverings, shoe dept, ladies wear, underwear, and dress fabric, poultry feed, you could put your grocery order in and it would be made up and delivered if you wanted, it was just like a department store every thing under one roof."


Lyn McGrice via Facebook:
"Both my parents worked there in the 50's. Mum worked in the grocery section, those were the days before self service where everything was stacked behind the counter and you had to ask for whatever you needed. I remember my parents saying that a lot of the farmers would ring an order through to be picked up, if they didn't manage to get to pick it up before closing it was left out the front of the store. Can you imagine doing that today? Dad was the manager of the Men's Department and when John Whyte transferred Mr Piggott became manager and Dad was the assistant manager. My sister Val also worked there for awhile. I loved Mrs Connelly and Mrs Donohue in the drapery section. Kerry Sims, Lil Pratt, Marie Moltoni (Panzich) are others that come to mind. When Foys closed it was taken over by Gordon Hughes and his wife. The building Foys went from the lane way in Brockman St, around the corner to about where Deja Vu is because this is where the Menswear Dept was. Drapery and ladies was where the Newsagency is. Near the lane you could drive in to buy chook pellets and such this is where Arthur Jones worked if my memory serves me right."

"This is obviously Junior High school, the girls are too tall for primary [school]. The two storey building was Hanrahan's Tea rooms in my young days, the Shell sign south of that was Muir's [Garage], the fuel was sold on that side first before going across the road to where Chinese [Restaurant] is now. The furniture shop (Comfort Style) is now where the Shell sign is. Biiddecud Wine Salon was between there and the tea rooms, then Woollies north of that. I used to have lunch in the tea rooms when I worked in town. It is interesting that there was a march through town on sports day! I well recall the shops closing their doors in respect as a funeral procession drove through the main street, this always happened at funerals."

Since knocked down, rebuilt as Alf's Continental, now Cherry Box. 

This building is now a part of a larger building with a mirrored store to the right. It now houses Farmhouse Pizza.
