Armadale - Jull Street Mall

 

Jull Street looking a little deserted on a Saturday afternoon. Perhaps the football is keeping everyone away? Photo - July 2008

 

Armadale - Jull Street Mall

 

Jull Street again - sort of nice view of the cinemas and bank through the winter tree. Photo - July 2008

Armadale - Post Office

 

Ah ha! I caught a post office transition. The "Post Office" sign has gone but business continues. I wonder to which use this building is destined. Craft shop? Maybe. Photo - July 2008

 

Armadale - Olde Narrogin Inn

 

Ye Olde Narrogin Inne, on the junction of Albany and South Western Highway, has long been a local landmark and has always looked really attractive. Photo - January 2009

 

Armadale - Heritage Village

 

Pioneer Village. Some lovely shops and restaurants and a good place for a browse or just an ice cream. This is looking up the street near the entrance. Photo - January 2009

 

Armadale - Heritage Village

 

Pioneer Village School. That is a classroom or school office behind that old cart. Photo - January 2009

 

 

Armadale - Heritage Village

 

Pioneer Village School. Another classroom - one of many. This one remind me very much like Fairbridge Belfast Cottage. The old petrol pump is a nice touch. Photo - January 2009

 

Armadale - Heritage Village

 

Pioneer Village School. Right next to the Pioneer Village and indeed an integral part of it all. It is amazing to see a functioning school set in this pioneering mode. I wonder what the kids think? Photo - January 2009

 

Armadale - Heritage Village

 

Pioneer Village. This is Violeta's Garden Restaurant. Should try it some day.  A few people were relaxing on the verandah after a good lunch & perhaps a wine or three. Photo - January 2009

Lovely looking building in the Pioneer Village - The Wild Rose Restaurant. Photo - January 2009

Armadale - St Matthews Church

 

St Matthews Church on Prospect Road. This looks like the original section. Off to the right, a new section has been added on. There is a Church Cafe just off to left of picture. January 2012

 

Armadale - Therapeutic Family Services

 

More or less right behind St Matthews Church is this very attractive old building, beautifully maintained and probably originally used as a dwelling. It is now the home of Therapeutic Family Services. January 2012

 

Armadale - Hall

 

On Jull Street is the imposing Armadale District Hall. Originally built in 1936 in "Inter-war art deco style", the hall has had a number of face-lifts over the years. It was saved from commercial redevelopment by concerned citizens in 2001. Now on interim Heritage List. January 2012

 

Armadale - Fox and Hound Tavern

 

The Fox and Hound Tavern in the Jull Street Mall, looking fine in its mock-Tudor style. It's right next door to the Tudor Arcade. This perhaps used to be known simply as the Armadale Tavern? January 2012

 

Armadale - Minnawarra Park

 

Down next to Armadale Road is Minnawarra Park. It boasted a pleasant water-feature, plenty of ducks and other water birds, and this impressive looking bridge. January 2012

 

Armadale - Minnawarra Park - Church

 

Adjacent to the Minnawarra park itself is the Minnawarra Historic Precinct. This photo is of the Congregational Church, originally built in 1903 and re-located to this site in 1988. January 2012

 

Armadale - Minnawarra Park - Old School

 

Another fine old building in the Historic Precinct is the original Armadale primary school which was built in 1900 and relocated to here in 1987. From 2003 the Birtwistle Local Studies Library has occupied the building. January 2012

 

Armadale - RSL Hall

 

The old RSL Hall, still in use today. This was constructed in 1935 and the hall is apparently available for hire. It is Streich Avenue South, very close to the train station. January 2012

 

Armadale - Telegraph Office

 

The replica Telegraph Office in the Armadale Tourist Centre at 40 Jull Street. Also in this centre is the Bert Tyler Vintage Machinery Museum. January 2012

 

Armadale - Red Rooster Corner

 

Down at the end of Third Avenue is this eye-catching circular building. Underneath is a driv-through Red Rooster. The round bit probably contains offices? January 2012

 

Armadale - Train Station

 

One of the few stations on the Perth network that probably looks better now than it did in the past. Nice design and good craftsmanship in the building. Those old railway sleepers laid out the front add a nice touch. Well done those involved. This will last 100 years! January 2012
