1899-1903 Allen, Alfred
Between the 1903 & 1904 directories the address changed to 292 Victoria Road from 127 Upper Thomas St. This appears to have occurred by the original site absorbing the next house on Victoria St (no 292), which in the 1903 directory is listed as being occupied by Mr Allen, renumbering the bnuilding as being in Victoria St, probably this occurring with a rebuild.
