Lot's of Europeans in the area and IGA Spearwood caters for them, the fact that the fish shop next door survives gives an indication of the demand in the era and provides competition.
Yeah I quite like the your area, use to go for walk up there. Apart from the fire hazard up there get quite hot in summer and the sea breeze take a while to get there.
If you house sold you would have had a great deal of motivation to clear all that stuff out LOL
