On Thursday 18 August 1960, during the time Ray and Alice Northcott had the Store, it was again destroyed by fire, 38 years after the first Store burnt down. It was rebuilt for the third time by block layer from Hawera and Rad Papworth. This roughcast concrete building is still there today. Txt Quote Credit: Jacq Dwyer
