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 St (St Quentin Ave) and the Cherry family lived at 1 St Quentin Ave (House name Ormerod). In later years the drycleaning business was apparently moved further west as the United Bus depot on Gugeri Street had parking area right through to St Quentin Ave. The business was taken over by Stannards, a well known dry cleaning firm.
