According to Topsie Harris...

'Richard Holten Grayling was born at Lamb Inn, Collins Street in the original building built 1837 by John Smith.

 

 

 

Richard Holten Grayling and his wife Jane had a grocery business and general store, which was in existence in 1891 and still trading well into the early1900's.   Their store was in Goldsmith street (the Sunraysia Highway between Loxton and the Catholic Church.)   Local residents remember being able to buy practically anything in his store.Everyone was catered for with clothing for children, chemises, carrisoles and corsets for the ladies and trousers, flannels and shirts and boots for the men.   Perishable foods such as butter, presented the storekeepers of the day with problems to keep these foods fresh and sweet.   Fortunately the Grayling store did have a cellar and this was a help.   At the rear of their store, they also had available for sale farm produce including bagged chaff, bran and wheat.'
