Lamb's grocery store

Lamb's grocery store operated in Redan from at least 1885 to 1972.

The store is on the south west corner of Winderemere Street and La Trobe Street, now number as 602 Windermere Street South, and previously No. 132.

History
In July 1885, it was reported that Elizabeth Lamb, wife of the owner Mr. A. Lamb, committed suicide at the shop: "A supposed case of suicide is reported as having occurred on Saturday night at Ballarat South. At about 8 o’clock on that night Dr Radcliffe was called on to attend Mrs Elizabeth Lamb, wife of Mr A. Lamb, grocer, at the comer of Windermere and Latrobe streets. He found her suffering from the effects of poison, and on his recommendation the unfortunate woman was removed to the Hospital, where the usual remedies were applied, but without effect, as the woman died half an hour after admission. An enquiry will be held to-day."
