Residence and Occupation
During the period from 1924–1928 a very young Stanley Lloyd Hall accompanied his family when they moved to Auburn, New South Wales. By 1929/30 the financial depression following the Wall Street stock market crash, hit the New South Wales economy with great severity causing high unemployment.
It was during the 1930’s crisis and depression that Stanley Lloyd Hall’s parents and siblings moved to Katoomba, New South Wales. In 1930 they were living in the main shopping strip at 204 Katoomba Street, Katoomba. His father was a local fruiterer. Stan and his younger siblings Phyllis, Eric and Harold attended Primary School in Katoomba.
The following photographs, show the location of the shop on the corner of Katoomba and Waratah Streets, Katoomba. In addition to selling fruit and vegetables the shop also provided Soda Fountain drinks, Fry’s Chocolate Creams and Cordials. In the thirty years before 1930, the shop had been run for different periods by Mr. M.A. Davidson and then by Mr. A. Rutledge.
The Hall family soon left Katoomba and moved to Cowra, New South Wales where they stayed until 1937. The family finally returned in 1938 to Sydney, New South Wales.
Stanley Lloyd Hall started work in Sydney as a Machinist. At that point, he was living at home with his parents at 45 Brighton Street, Croydon, New South Wales, Australia. However, Stan soon gained wheels and became mobile. During the early 1940’s he revisited Katoomba and the Blue Mountains. The following photo of the Three Sisters at Echo Point was taken during one of his visits to Katoomba.

The partnership between Stan and Dot lasted for five years but became strained due to the meddling of Dot’s mother. By 1946 they finally went their own ways. Stan married his new partner Jean Schofield in May and Dot married her new partner Ron Fitzpatrick in August.
