General notes:
Garnet Woolcock's boot repair shop at 608 Queensberry Street (current number). Queensberry Street School can be seen reflected in the window. Mr Woolcock served in WW1 and had a leg amputated. In the image, he is presumably on the left, wearing the apron, and his stance suggests a prosthetic on his right leg. He ran his shop for many years, and he died in Pascoe Vale in 1956. Although the image is undated, the clothing suggests it is perhaps the 1920s
