Black and white photograph from original

Front: Shopfront with the name 'J. Cadman' and 'Confectioner, Stationer and Fancy Goods' painted on the store front. The front windows of the store are full of items, and a service desk can just be made out through the doorway. To the left of the words 'J. Cadman' can be read part of a word 'os'… this is believed to be part of the word 'Bros'and may refer to the Richardson Bros. grocers which was loacted here aroud the turn of the nineteenth century.

Two men stand outside the shop on the footpatht, with a woman and a girl on the balcony above. Another girl is standing on the pavement closer to the shop, on the right-hand side. Given the dates, it seems that the image may be of William Cadman and/or members of his family.

Reverse: Handwritten note: ' Memo Richard. The name Cadman is Mrs Norman Brown, a school-mate of Mrs (?) Chugg. She is over 80 and has a very retentive memory. She lives in Fairway, Nedlands - a Subiaco ratepayer. I have made a reference to her in the former Subiaco Cyclist Club photograph. I have a hazy idea that Mrs (?) Chugg has invited her to the official opening - I have not said anything!. K (Ken Bowen) 16 Oct. 1975'.

Second note: 'This Cadman store was on the west side of Rockeby, just north of the Bagot Road intersection. Later, Cadmans moved to east side of Rockeby on the corner where Crossways now. ?stands. Information from Mr R. Doublas 221 Heytesbury. ?'
