Samuel Angior - Chemist

215 High Street, Northcote

The first Chemist store in Northcote was established by a Mr. Turner who operated his business from a timber building on the corner of High Street and Separation Street, opposite what was then known as the Carters’ Arms Hotel. In the 1850s Samuel Angior arrived in Northcote and took over the business from Turner. A position he held for the next 50 years. In 1860 he moved to new premises next door to Bastings store at 215 High Street Northcote where he operated the business until 1898.
