Wing Hing Long & Co. Store, Heritage-listed former store in Tingha, New South Wales, Australia
The Wing Hing Long & Co. Store features original timber counters, display units, and a functional cashier's pulley system at 10 Ruby Street.
Constructed between 1881 and 1895, the store served the tin mining community of Tingha, which reached 4,000 residents during the 1880s peak.
From 1881 until 1998, Chinese immigrants and their descendants operated this general store, representing the commercial presence of Chinese-Australians in regional towns.
The building now functions as a museum, maintaining an extensive collection of grocery stock, hardware, photographs, and archives from early twentieth century retail.
The store employed up to fifteen staff members who lived on-site, offering services despite restrictions imposed by the 1901 Immigration Restriction Act.
