25.01.2022 FLASHBACK FRIDAY: This building once stood on the north-west corner of Queen and Broughton Streets, Campbelltown. In its early days it was George Kings General and Produce Store, before becoming Carlisles General Store and finally modified to become V. Grimsons Tyre Service. It was still standing in 1984 but demolished soon after for a car park. All the other buildings in this photograph have been demolished. Do you have memories of this building?
