Groom Family
We think the Groom property was 11 Surfside Avenue Mossy Point.
The Groom Brothers had a shipbuilding, engineering and boilermaking business in Berrys Bay Sydney, Ron Young worked there before taking over the Mossy Point Post Office Store in 1950. The Groom family built a steel framed fibro cottage after World War 2, the steel frame was really innovative at the time.
We're lucky to have some pictures of the Grooms and their friends, the house and the Tent City that sprang up there during the Christmas holidays during the 1940s and through to the mid 1950s.
