Fortitude Valley, Queensland, has been a vibrant commercial hub since the 1890s, thanks largely to two pioneering businessmen, Thomas Beirne and James McWhirter. The latter actually worked for the former in his drapery store for a number of years, before opening a rival outlet opposite. Located close to Brisbane’s CBD, Fortitude Valley flourished, particularly after flooding in Brisbane at the end of the 19th Century wiped out a number of shops, which resulted in business owners moving their operations to higher ground. Attending to the printing needs of companies and individuals, from Posters to digital copying in Fortitude Valley, is a specialty of the team here at Minuteman Press.
Historic Journals, some the subject of digital copying in Fortitude Valley, have recorded information and images of major department stores that dominated the ever-growing retail centre up until the 1960s, included Beirne’s, McWhirter’s, and Overells, which opened in 1907. Waltons, David Jones, and Myer were soon to follow. The 1950s saw Fortitude Valley become Australia’s largest non-CBD retail precinct.
Today, the Valley is host to some of Australia’s top home-shopping retailers. As was the case 100 years ago, the area’s residents and shoppers still benefit from regular public transport, as well as secure taxi ranks.
