• Notes

  Bert and Kath Watson ran a Ham & Beef Shop. This is likely to havebeen the shop in John Street, Lidcombe. This would be the equivalentof today's delicatessan. They sold lots of goods, but two that havebeen particularly remembered were the home made iced treats (icy polesor ice blocks), remembered by Shirley Brierley, and the ham that Kath took such pride in carving to perfect thinness long before there weremachines to do this. Isabel Watson remembered that she had a veryspecial knife with a very long thin curved blade that she used forthis task and no one else could use that knife but Kath.
