The hall had a dairy at the front and bach style accommodation for the shop keeper. In the 1950s the hall was turned into a full size house attached to the shop. The shop had a tiny post office that was the main PO before the stand-alone post office was built just south of Chez Paris. At the Xmas dance Pop (Herbert senior) Leach, who was the normal MC, would get dressed in a Santa's costume and hide in the hall ceiling - descending by ladder to give the children presents. The old Westend building was pulled down in the 1970s. Between the 1950s and the 1970s there was a butcher's shop and a small doctor's rooms about 100 metres north of the intersection of Wharf Rd and Hattaways Ave. Both have been pulled down.
