T.W. Thomas & Co - Grocers
Description
T.W. Thomas and Co. opened a grocer's business during 1854 in one of the premises previously occupied by James Nokes, 55 Bourke Street Melbourne. They soon also occupied No. 53 1/2 Bourke Street. The fact that Thomas used Nokes' reverse, commemmorating the arrival of Lieut. Governor Hotham in mid-1854 adds strength to the timing of the sale of the business. Gardner notes that Thomas was thought to be an assumed name and that his real name was thought to be Walters.
Thomas is thought to have returned to Tasmania after 1859 and not returned to Victoria.
