Guiseppe Valenti John Valenti writes: I remember going to the markets at Haymarket and Flemington early in the mornings to buy produce, and selling Christmas trees from the back of the truck. Dad used to pack up every day and put the fruit and vegetables in the cool room - great memories! Alifraco - Neutral Bay, Frank's Fruit Shop

Tom Horsfield Nos. 120 and 122 Military Road were part of Birch's Bakery until they were both converted to a greengrocer's, probably around 1925. George Lo Schiavo ran both shops until Frank Alifraco and his brother Pasquale took over in 1932. No. 122 subsequently became a Lending Library. No. 124 was the butcher's shop. |
