William Sandover came from Adelaide in 1881 and established a flourishing business in Fremantle, in partnership with Edward Mayhew. This was dissolved in 1885 in favour of William’s younger brother, Alfred, who had just arrived in Perth to join his brother in his rapidly expanding business.
In 1907 the Perth branch, at 467-471 Hay Street, caught fire. It was the largest building fire Perth city had yet experienced. The building was all but gutted, with only a few walls barely standing. William Sandover & Co bought out the business directly across from them, Drake and Stubbs, Ironmongers at 886 Hay Street, the building in the picture.
In 1921 Alfred donated the Sandover medal, which is still presented annually to the WAFL’s fairest and best player.
