Huthwaites Service Station


WG Huthwaite established a general store in Baylis Street after moving from Lockhart in 1906. It grew to become a large Department Store as well as having farm machinery and service station business activities. Huthwaite’s closed in 1981.

In 1958 Huthwaites registered a new company, W. G. Huthwaites and Co. (Motors) Pty. Ltd. and the Huthwaite Shell Service Station was built in Edward Street opposite Bolton Park. It catered for the fuel and vehicle repair needs of town clients as well as housing a tractor and farming equipment showroom for the farming clientele.

In 1964 the service station was extended and renovated
