Templeman’s Store aka Templeman’s Arcade (1883)
Built as a store in 1883 for Mrs Brown’s (later Templeman) shop across the road. Partially used after 1895 by Wehrle Jewellers. In 1913, converted by owner, James Templeman, into a General Dealers shop on transferring the business from across the road. He added the plate glass windows in front. Bought by Thesen & Co. and closed on sale of the business to Barlow Rand in the mid 1970’s. In modern times, tourist buses often stop outside, seeking nearby coffee shops.
