Listing details
What
Winns namesigns.
Winns Ltd operated a Department Store at 223–225 Liverpool Street. The NSW Heritage Database listing for the building states that this was originally the main entrance to the building. The entry was accessed by a set of stairs running to Oxford street. This arrangement is visible in a photograph held by the Justice and Police Museum.
There is a proposal to rename the section of Yurong Street that runs from Liverpool Street to Norman Street to Winns Lane.
One of the signs for the department store is displayed in the floor of a semi-circular portico to the building at the corner of Yurong and Norman Streets. Retractable trellis security doors on tracks mimic the semi-circular shape to enclose the portico. The doors to the building are concealed behind roller doors. It is obvious this entry is no longer in use.
