Industrial Traces - Guildford Lane

This area includes The Buffalo Club in Sutherland St.. It’s a bar that’s also a fraternal organisation known as R.A.O.B G.A.B, which has been operating in Melbourne’s inner city since the 1920s. R.A.O.B G.A.B, which stands for The Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes – The Grand Australian Banner. The initiation process involved blindfolds, secret handshakes, breaking bottles over one’s head, and getting really drunk - hopefully not now.

Turner Bros sign

Notice related to business run by prominent person in this area - Mr Zevenboom

Wedged into a wall - old ad for Rod Quantock, Comedian

The blank wall above seems to be advertising Carbide Merchants but window breaks up the lettering so need to research this one. Battery production/supply?
