Water Works Road - Brisbane

I am trying to find out if any one remembers what was on Waterworks Road back in the early 1920's - 1960's. My great grandfather had a produce store which sold hale bales etc. The store was called JP Barrett's Produce & Feed store or just JP Barrett's Produce. Now i think it was in the suburb of Forest Hills.

I believe it was turned into a picture show theatre and i am trying to find out if the current "Rockaway Records" is where the store use to be.

 

Can anyone help

Regards

Glennis Edwards (nee barrett)

Hi Stephanie, Just wanting to let you know that the info. link that should be showing on the bottom of your pdf notice (on the touch screen) is not showing for some reason. We're having a look at the problem and we'll let you know when it's fixed. Seems to be a problem across all pdf notices for the moment. thanks, Fiona.

Hi Stephanie, It turns out that we never had an info. link on the PDF notices :) I have added this job to our to do list though. You can scroll the PDF notice on the touch screen. I am wondering if the scroll bars are clear on the touch screen. They were not obvious on my lap top as the colour of the PDF was close to the colour of the scroll bars. I will be in this week sometime to check. thanks, Fiona.
