Paul WalkerPosted on 16 Dec 2012 at 10:06 AM GMT+11:00 I knew your grandfather Michael. My father Jim Walker owned the butcher shop a few doors down (out of photo) I am now 61 years of age and had not been back to rainbow for some 46 years until October 2012. I remember your grandfather coming out into the street to tell the locals that Doug Walters had hit a century I think during his 1st test. my father's butcher shop is still the albeit that the small goods factory at the rear has seen better days. I called around to see my old neighbours who are both still alive Ivan and Ruth's sleep at 26 Railway Street. We were in rainbow in the early 60s and I can't remember the Hotel being demolished in our time. I think it was a chemist shop and a hardware store there at the end of the street probably on the corner of Railway Street.
Michael WishartPosted on 02 Dec 2010 at 06:24 PM GMT+11:00That is the Commonwealth Hotel (demolished in the 1960s) on the right. The second shop visible from left is my grandfather's: "J. Wishart, Jeweller, 1910" (I believe that date is correct). The shop is still there in 2010. This view is to the south-east.
