This is small selection from my ongoing project to systematically document Melbourne’s disappearing Milk Bars. So far I’ve photographed in excess of 600 individual shops over more than ten years.

Hey David,
I am looking for pictures of my family’s old milkbar at 42 Napier St, Glenbervie. It was directly opposite the railway station. The milkbar was demolished in approximately 1979.
If you could email me it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Douglas
I can’t help you with that one, sorry
Hi David. this photo popped up on The Lost History of Melbourne and its Pioneers Facebook page with many trying to guess where it was. Named ‘The Red Lantern’ by the sign in the window. Any idea? https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10158819935598655&set=gm.862552277786952
