MR WILSON BUYS THE YALLOURN BUTCHER SHOP

The following brief newspaper article was found in ‘The Age’ in July 1952; and reports on the decision of the State Electricity Commission to sell its butcher shop at Yallourn to Mr Henry Wilson, of Sorrento, for £8000 (pounds). In retrospect, it was an important chapter in the story of Yallourn as the sale marked the beginning of the end for the SEC’s ownership of its business interests in the township.
