Carolyn Graham Was Inksters Bookshop also Inksters photographers. My wedding photo was in the window in 1969.

Angie Quinn Ian Murch Joe Kodak was my father. Have some great memories of playing at the back of the shop in the dark rooms when we were kids. And also upstairs in the studio and where Nana (Hilda Inkster) used to colour photos. Good times

Dave Bj Henderson Angie, where is your brother?

Tamai Sinclair Unfortunate that there isnt the financial capacity to develop a retail eating space at the first floor level, the river view is totally wasted.

Lyn Gosling I remember Inksters I also remember going to a hair-dressers' along there somewhere.

Lyn Gosling Does anyone remember (or have a photo of) the "Self Help" supermarket in Mawhera Quay (further east towards the bridge) I remember they had a crowing rooster on their sign and it said prices were "Cheap Cheap Cheaper

Rae Woods Lyn Gosling yep was like Xmas every time you walked in there, my older brother, linzi used to work their in later years.

John Nancekivell I'm from Hokitika and I have fond memories of shopping with my parents of all the shops ie, Woolworths and McKenzies our favourites and all the shops along Mawhera Quay trains ships at the wharves Greymouth was a buisy place, sad most of its all gone really
