Lockie and I walked to the Hay Street Mall this morning. We dodged the showers and stopped outside T Sharp and Co. It’s on the corner of Barrack and Hay Streets and has been there since 1907!

Originally a tobacconist and pen shop, (fountain pens) the tobacco was dried in a room under the building. It was different times, but here we are some 118 years later, and T Sharp and Co are still selling beautiful writing implements to the people of Perth.

Thank you to the shop attendants for welcoming me and Lockie today and relaying the story of this exquisite store.
