HISTORY

This building is the Denham house/shop on the corner of High and King Streets, Hastings. The original Denham general store of the 1900s sold just about everything and Art Denham was also the local undertaker so customers could choose a coffin from those on display in his shop.

DESCRIPTION

This image shows a line of houses and shops with a street in the foreground running across the width of the photograph.
