Some of our Dubbo residents will remember the Coles Stores building at the end of Macquarie Street where Mick Picton’s Old Bank Music Shop is now. Coles it seems built the store in 1937 and owned it until 1978. Scott’s Newsagency and Lawler’s Chemist also occupied the building.

Can anyone remember shopping in the Coles Store as a youngster?

The photograph was supplied by Mick Picton.

Mick says, “Prior to being the Coles Stores it was a theatre.”

If you have more information on the Coles Stores building we’d really like to hear from you. Email your comments and images suitable for Time Warp to photos@dubbophotonews.com.au
