Shops, Yenda

Shop, Yenda

Yenda is a small village in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (MIA) of New South Wales but it packs a punch as far as deco is concerned. Unfortunately, too many of the commercial buildings are vacant like this pair of shops.

  1. My step mother's sister lives there. They are taking a legal action against an authority because of terrible flooding a year or so ago. I've not been there, so I was quite unaware there was nice Deco buildings there.

    1. I heard about the flooding, must have been last year since my pics were taken the year before that. My favourite is the Yenda Cafe, unfortunately another of the vacant buildings in Yenda.

  2. Leaving shops in the main street vacant reduces employment options for the locals alright, but it is also an invitation for vandals. I hope they can open these little Deco gems (for any purpose) and protect them.

    1. I couldn't agree more Helen. We all feel it when we see a couple of empty shops in a street. One is a temporarily vacant shop, more than one starts to look like a long term problem.
