Heritage walks in Flemington and Kensington

 

Woodland Street, Essendon, from the Cummings and Stringer Album, State Library of Victoria Collection. 

It is probably a little late in the Lockdown Era, but it occurred to me to offer some heritage walks I prepared in days gone by as a variation of your walks around the district.  

I had already loaded up two, but today have added several more.   You will find them on the Time Travellers website.   They are offered in 'as is' condition (a bit like chipped china cups at the op shop!)  The walks are anything up to 20 years old, and some things are now out of date or gone altogether.  They were mostly in paper format, so my efforts have gone into scanning and creating pdf documents and loading them onto the web rather than attempting to correct them.    I have noted some of the more egregious problems on the website.  

Some are presented as 'Leader's Notes' to a guided walk, so without your Dear Leader, you will have to scout around a bit at times to discover the subject under discussion. All part of the fun!

Heritage Walks - Essendon

I have added a page for Heritage Walks to the website Time Travellers in Essendon, Flemington and the Keilor Plains, to which I will add some old heritage walks I created years ago, many of them for the Essendon Historical Society.   

The first one starts at the Salvation Army Citadel in Mt Alexander Road, Essendon, formerly the South Essendon Methodist Church. You can download it from the Heritage Walks webpage.
