Related Information

The notable 1920s shopfront was carried out by the Ramsay family, whose name is recorded in the remaining mosaic-tiled steps. Formerly occupying the whole building, 'Ramsay's' was run as a large department store supplying 'millinery, outfitting and costumes', as advertised on the second floor fascia. The small adjacent clothes shop in Evan Street was run by Mr Ramsay until he retired in 2004. Shop is now an 'Alldays' store. The mosaic design has suffered a little bit.
