Well.. not really. Although we have a long history in the meat trade, we can't lay claim to being Taringa locals for that long. Unbeknownst to us, on exactly the same site as ourselves ( 209 Moggill Rd, Taringa ), there existed a butcher shop. Owned by a gentleman named Herbert W. Woodcock the picture at top was taken in 1923. It was later bought by slaughterman, George Bagster, who is pictured first from left. The next picture is from 1937 with the changed signage. You can see the laneway to the left which still exists today. What an amazing coincidence. It really makes us proud to actually have such a provenance in the local Taringa area.
