Gone to Gowings part 1

Posted by Miroslav under: Books; Photos; Stores .

I recently picked up the “Gone to Gowings” book courtesy of eBay that was written by Stephanie Gowing about the history of the Sydney based retail firm, “Gowings”.

It was written before the demise of the retail business and has some great images in it, some of which i have scanned and now share for your viewing pleasure :)
