As part of the regular excursions program offered by the
Eltham District Historical Society the next visit will comprise a guided
walk through the precinct covering John Street, Eltham and nearby streets,
where there is a concentration of mud brick houses dating from the 1940s
through to quite recent times. This free walk, led by Russell
Yeoman, passes houses built by Alistair Knox, Gordon Ford, Peter Glass and
others who made significant contributions to the Eltham tradition of
earth building.
The walk will start at the Eltham Local History Centre, 728
Main Road, Eltham at the corner of Brougham Street (Melway Ref. 21 J7)
at 2.00pm on Saturday 7th July. The distance is about 3 km and
will take 2 to 2.5 hours.
This walk will traverse the streets of Josiah Holloway’s
1851 Little Eltham subdivision.
All welcome but numbers are limited. Bookings required:
