Summary

View of the Young & Gordon (late Bignell & Young) shop at Port Augusta. A number of the staff are standing out the front at the edge of the verandah, some of the stock can be seen in the shop windows but the windows to the first storey are curtained. Another Young & Gordon single-storey building can be partially seen beside the main one. Information on the main building identifies the original business as 'Bignall & Young, importers, established 1867'. When Frank Bignell retired in 1881 Thomas Young went into partnership with Robert Gordon, trading as Young and Gordon where they sold drapery, millinery, dressmaking, tailoring, clothing, footware, grocery, produce, ironmongery, glassware, earthernware, wine and spirits.
