90-100 MAYNE STREET

90-100 Mayne Street Gulgong is occupied by a large brick building that has been a supermarket since before that word existed.

The picture below is a detail from a photo in the Holtermann Collection and shows the intersection of Mayne and Herbert Streets. Hunter and Co Bootmakers take up the corner position (this later became the Albion Hotel) and beyond that on Mayne Street is Tuckerman's Hotel.

CR Young built a brick store across these three properties in 1895 for use as his Commercial Warehouse

1895 - [NEW WAREHOUSE]

Mr. C. R. Young, of the Commercial Warehouse, has invited tenders for 120,000 bricks wherewith to build a new warehouse on the ground lately occupied by the Albion Hotel. This means employment for a number of our local tradesmen.
