Description: | This saddlers and leather goods shop, owned by Mr John Collins, once traded from No 9 Henry Street in the Portland Town neighbourhood. In 1937, sections of the street were demolished as part of the area's redevelopment. The dilapidated 19th-century buildings near the corner of Upper William St were cleared, eventually making way for new flats, Henry House and The Crown Public House.
Collins relocated opposite to No 4 on the same street, which had been re-named Allitsen Street, after the popular turn of the century songwriter Frances Allitsen.
