Mrs. Stevenson’s Room Print E-mail

Tea Rooms

During the 1920’s Wollombi had a period of greater prosperity than during the 50 year periods before or after.
Motor cars were becoming common,  and the best road to the North was from Sydney to Windsor,  then Wiseman’s Ferry &  St Albans to Wollombi.  This changed in the early 1930s with the opening of the Pacific Highway from Sydney to Newcastle via Gosford,  which,  combined with the Depression,  gave the town a setback from which it did not recover until the 1990’s.

Mrs. Stevenson was the owner of this building  for some years,  and operated a business comprising of Tea Rooms and petrol sales in the 1920s.
