Back in Time for the Corner Shop
Back in Time for the Corner Shop looks at how Australian society has changed through the lens of the corner shop.* *Annabel Crabb will once again be on hand to help Carol and Peter Ferrone, and their children Julian, Sienna and Olivia, learn the highs and lows of being shopkeepers through 150 years of Australian history. The Australian corner shop was an institution for millions of Australians. More than a simple shop, it was the centre point of a neighbourhood, supplying essential daily needs and tasty treats. Over the decades the role of the corner shop has evolved from a community hub and the main provider of groceries to the grab and go chain stores we know today. And the Ferrone’s will experience it all, starting in an 1850s shop, all the way to the 1990s.
