Old shops that were on the cnr of Keith st and Liverpool st and a shop that was on the cnr of keith st and Glasgow st net to Peter's samples rooms

Matt from Whanganui

Hi there I was wondering if any well seasoned people that have been in wanganui for a while have any info or photos of the shop that use to be on the cnr of Keith st and Liverpool st across the road from the Keith st school as my grandmother ran it in the early 1950 and my mother ran a shop on the cnr of Keith st and Glasgow st around the same time next to Peter's sample rooms. It would be so great if I could get copies of any photos or info on either or both shops.
Thank you for your time reading this
Kind regards matt
These are photos of the houses that on the sites of the shops. I hope the owners don't mind me posting these photos I will remove if they want

Changing the conversation around dementia

Jane Winstone Retirement Village

Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
