Statement of Significance
Information added informally by Heritage Advisor, 27 July 2017
This timber shop and dwelling was built in 1883-84 for William James Heyward and his wife, Matilda Searle Heyward (nee Evans). Heyward was born in Canada in 1846 and emigrated to Victoria with his parents in 1853. He sold the property to Charles Newbury in 1886-87. See separate heritage citation for 162 Bellerine St for second shop on site (built 1892-93) referred to below.

C Listed - Local Significance
Historically, a typical corner shop and residence, with the added interest of surviving elements of a 19th century baker's business, illustrating the on-site manufacture and stable accommodation for delivery wagons and horses. It also represents a compact grouping of the different forms taken by buildings in Geelong's 1880s land boom era. Architecturally the corner shop is altered in detail but still possesses valuable elements such as shopfronts. In contrast, 162 Bellerine Street is near complete (also with shopfronts) as is the stabling, the latter being in poor repair.

Shop & Residence160-164 also see 89 McKillop St 164 Bellerine St - Physical Description 1
Today, this complex provides an interesting if, in part, dilapidated collection of buildings, all built for Samuel Newbury and each fulfilling a different role in his baker's business. The necessary bakehouse, the stable yard, gabled timber stable building and loft above, and the corner timber hipped-roof shop and residence, with its iron-ornamented residential verandah facing east. Between the bakehouse and corner shop is the timber former hairdresser's shop, with near original shop fronts to both shops.
External Integrity
New awnings, shop front changes, signs and altered openings to the south are the main changes to 164; the other buildings having a high integrity, albeit in poor repair (stable).
Streetscape
Complements the similarly aged shop and residence at 91 McKillop Street and houses in both Bellerine (north) and McKillop (west) Streets. It contributes to sub-precinct 7.7 which is a small area of mainly Victorian era housing.
