Thanks for that Anzac - seems it wasn't till 1967 that they moved into the old bank. I had been considering asking Bob Dobson to see if they were listed in any of his old trade directories but don't need to now...
Owe you an apology, DtheP, hadn't realised till just looked on Streetview that there is another jeweller in that bit of road - and at the old Frank Ogden address. Comes of me no longer living in Accy. Wonder if it has been a jeweller ever since Ogden's left?
