This 1935 Masters Chevrolet sedan delivery van was the proud possession of Leslie Harold Shaw, whose dairy served the people of Balgowlah and Seaforth in the 1930s and 40s with butter, cheese, milk, ice and other groceries. The Shaw family lived in Myrtle Street (now in North Balgowlah), and several of Leslie's children went to Balgowlah Public School - bush tracks in those days, and not too much traffic to worry about.

Balgowlah Public School changed its name to Seaforth Primary School in 1963. The only part of the original school still standing is the building now used as Balgowlah-Seaforth Library.

Thanks to John Shaw, Leslie's grandson, for the use of this photograph.
