It’s been a long haul for the new owners of the Woodbury Store Cafe with Covid-19 pushing plans back by about three months, but finally the restored building has opened its doors to the public. Friends from high school, Jill Murphy and Sue Hardwick-Smith teamed up with “ring in” Dianne Hamilton, purchasing the store which was built in 1874, and used as a general store until its closure in 1993.
