Summary

Pirie Street, north side, 21 April 1936, frontage of building is 19 yards. Site of HC Sleigh's is on the east corner of Ackland Street. HC (Harold Crofton) Sleigh 1867-1933 was responsible for importing kerbside petrol pumps to Australia. He registered the name Golden Fleece after he bought a cargo of oil from a consignee who was unable to pay. He contributed so much to the development of motoring in Australia and was disappointed that he could never drive a car himself due to a leg amputation. The Golden Fleece sign stands on the roof of the bluestone single storey business that has an arched roof over the central doorway. To see the building completed in 1936 see B 6941.
