Norfolk Street, Fremantle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norfolk Street runs between Marine Terrace and South Terrace in Fremantle, Western Australia.

In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth, it was a street of ill health,[1] slum conditions[2] and criminality.[3][4]

In 1960 the Western Australian Wool Buyers & Exporters Association moved from their address in Perth to the Wool Exchange building at 5 Norfolk Street.[5]

In 1997 steps were taken to heritage list the buildings at 26-27 Norfolk Street.[6]
