Alex Barfoot Surgical Footwear

Alex Barfoot Shoes (continued) - Progress of Research

Got some great assistance by Local History person at East Melbourne Library. Seems this shoe company was in the Little Collins St vicinity from at least 1948 to 1974 per Sands& Mc Dougall. There were also newspaper advertisements for Barfoot, one of which is shown below and sourced from Trove. This is from 1947

Sands & McDougall entry for 1947 (1974 entry was the same except for address change to 29 Ridgeway Place in 1974)

    How uncanny. My family are Barfoots from England. I had no idea there were some in Melbourne too. ��
