About Wilson's Corner

One of the oldest remaining commercial buildings is on the corner of Pittwater and Victoria Roads and is easily recognised as a former butcher shop by the bullock’s head on the parapet. The building is defined by its red brick walls with horizontal rendered white bands.

This shop was first operated by Bob Woolley then taken over by Jack Wilson in 1924. Jack was followed by his son Ray, and grandson Trevor until the retail business closed in 1988. The family also had a ham and bacon factory in Boronia Park that continued for another four years.
