1999

Overview

From a collection of photographs donated by Millie Phillips during her oral history interview.
Millie captioned each of the images.
'Here I am bringing in my sandwich board sign for the last time – my last few minutes of trading – 17 years to the day – 31/7/1982 to 31/7/1999. Tatters was the longest running boutique in Subiaco to that date.
*Note – the sandwich board includes the date of 1st of August as I came in the next day for last-minute lay-by pick-ups and for friends and visitors calling in to say goodbye to me and the shop for the last time.'
