Uncle Roy opens his nostalgia boutique


Bruce Mansfield opened ‘Uncle Roy’s Nostalgia Boutique’ at Eaglemont in August 1985, at the height of his 3AW breakfast career with John Blackman. We were there to take photos for the short-lived Sunday Advertiser published by Arthur Preusker.

3AW’s outside broadcasts always draw a crowd. Listeners gathered for an auction of items from Uncle Roy’s Nostalgia Boutique.
