Bleakley's General Store

Bleakley's General Store was owned and built by Mr. E. Higgs in 1911, and was constructed from wood.

The Bleakley brothers were the first to lease the building and open a general store, followed by Mr. H. McBeth in late 1912. On 21 January 1913, the building was destroyed by fire, only days before Mr. McBeth was due to open for business.
