Commercial Lumber became CKD Boats

As with many companies,a change in markets causes a change in direction,so it was for Commercial Lumber,which itself was an offspring from Commercial Contracts,which I started in 1974.The building in the picture is 34 Glynn Street,which is at the back of what was the Roeland Street Jail,its a short walk to Parliment and the City Courts,the jail is now The State Archives building.We were told it was probable that our building was used as a stables for the Cape Town Castle,which is not so far away either.

Note the tree and its message 'We sell Wood' its amazing how often a visitor would walk through our doors and say 'Do you sell wood?' (we still do) at last check we had stocks of american white ash,beech,oak and poplar,clear oregon,teak,meranti,pine,iroko,plus all our plys such as WBP,marine grade to BS1088 Ockume,Ssuperform bending,and Deluxe light plys also.
