| Statement of Significance The former butcher's shop at 333 Pakington Street, has significance as one of a small number of interwar shops in Newtown still serving a commercial purpose. Of moderate integrity from the front, the shop was built in 1934. It has long associations with George Merritt, butcher, who operated his shop from this location throughout the 1930s and 1940s, initially with Reginald (Jim) Ensby. From 1947, the butcher's shop was operated by George's brother, Herbert. The shop appears to be in fair-good condition when viewed from the street. The former butcher's shop at 333 Pakington Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level (AHC D.2). It demonstrates original interwar design qualities that include the stepped brick rectangular parapet with flanking clinker brick parapet piers and projecting concrete cappings, gabled roof form clad in corrugated profile sheet metal, and the stepped rectangular signage panel. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the projecting cantilevered verandah, metal framed shopfront windows with highlights, ingo with door opening, and the transom above the door. The former butcher's shop at 333 Pakington Street, is historically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC A.4, H.1). It represents one of few remaining intact examples of suburban interwar commercial development in Newtown. Built in 1934, this building has particular associations with George Merritt, butcher, who operated a butcher's shop from this location in the 1930s and 1940s. The business was carried on by his brother, Herbert from 1945. Overall, the former butcher's shop at 333 Pakington Street is of LOCAL significance.
