Fitzroy history – the Vegie Connection
Throughout February I posted a story about my recent London holiday each morning with a local story each afternoon. It’s time to give local stories priority again in the morning, though I will post a few more London stories in the afternoon to complete the series. I was fascinated to learn recently that there has been a fruit and vegetable shop where the Vegie Connection now stands for far longer than I previously knew, as this photo from 1958 demonstrates.

I see the little chap holding the sign on the verandah roof was replaced by an air-con unit.
Great photo comparison :)

If only I’d known that when I went in this morning to buy an avocado. And oh how I love seeing such photos – great find!
