Description

DescriptionThe fire is believed to have started in the welding section under the paint shop. The building and the bootmaker premises of Claude Schilling next door were destroyed. The panel beaters had been on the site for around fifty year with Jack Thomas’s father staring the business as a coachbuilder and wheelwright, in 1921. The business had temporary premises in Booval before moving to their current site at 73 Lobb Street, Churchill. References (offline)See Queensland Times, 5 May 1978, for a description of the fire
