Can you help solve the mystery?
I have come across a postcard of such a shop, the photograph taken by F. W. Spry, and posted in 1911, but I am unable to trace any evidence of the shop or name in the town, and as far as I'm aware, Spry did not photograph buildings out of this area.
Tunks had a small shop trading in groceries and was a draper. It was situated at the end of a three-window building, with a door one window away from the shop, and a wall letterbox between the two. It has a rural appearance, with bushes between the footpath and building partly obscuring the shop.
