Gas Showroom
Donated by Douglas FerridayThis image appears to be of the Gas Showrooms which were in Victoria Road on the corner of Avenue Road for many years. The venue is now a wine bar retaining the name 'The Showroom'.
The image is possibly from the 1930s or 40s.
The items on display seem to be water heating geysers and the desk was where accounts were paid, the notice indicating 9-5pm weekdays and 9-12pm presumably Wednesday or Saturday.
