to bread, he also sold a range of small cakes, pastries, wedding and birthday cakes. In March 1950 the local fire brigade was summoned to a fire that had started in the large wood stack behind the bakery. Although the cause was unknown, quick action reduced the amount of damage. In October 1954, as proprietor of the Wendouree Tearooms, Campbell placed the advertisement “Eat more Bread” in the Schedule of Prizes for the Toodyay Agricultural Society's Annual Show. It is not known when he retired from the business, nor the date of the changes that were made to the site in the following decades. In 1984 Rob and Leah Broderick purchased the site, now trading as Toodyay Takeaways, and commenced plans to restore the building and business back to its former name and style. In May 1986 filming for the Australian feature film Shame took place on this site, which was then known as The Avon Kitchen. By January 1989 the business was once again being referred to as the Wendouree Tearooms. In June that same year Hilda and her son Brett Christian had taken over the business. In 1995 Jayne and Johnny Duncan bought the tearooms running it until January 1999. In February 2003 an archaeological dig (supervised by archaeologist Gaye Nayton) was undertaken on the site adjacent to the tearooms of the old cottage that was demolished to make way for the new chemist shop. The finds were lodged with the collections of the Shire of Toodyay's Newcastle Gaol Museum. Today the tearooms are located in a single height brick structure with prominent parapet which is slightly Egyptian in style with an art deco influence. It has a double fronted glazed shop front with a central recessed door. The adjoining house has been demolished and a matching shop front has been erected in its place. A separate commercial business operates out of this side. References Buildings and structures in Toodyay, Western Australia Stirling Terrace, Toodyay
