Our Beginning as Sheard’s Service Store

Harold Sheard, a manager of general stores in both Nuriootpa and Angaston, offered the leasehold of his Nuriootpa store to the community after the death of his son in 1942, in order to retire quietly with his wife Rose in Port Elliot. The store was officially taken over by the community on March 1^st 1944, under the management of Mr Harry Craker.
