Historical information

According to postal directories, Walter Cherry & Co Ltd, Dyers & Cleaners, had a shop in Bay View Terrace next to Rickard's Shoe Store until 1918. The work appears to have been carried out at 3 Diver Street (later St Quentin Avenue). The Cherry family lived at 1 St Quentin Avenue in a house named Ormerod. In later years the dry cleaning business was apparently moved further west as the United Bus depot on Gugeri Street had parking area that extended right through to St Quentin Avenue. The business was taken over by Stannards, a well known dry cleaning firm.
