Fremantle - High Street Mall A busy autumn Sunday afternoon in the High Street mall. You can see well-known Culleys Tearooms and the entrance to Atwell Arcade across the road. That whole building in green and white is the Atwell Building. April 2012 |
|
|
Fremantle - Trades Hall The Fremantle Trades Hall on Collie Street has recently undergone lots of renovations and painting and it looks magnificent. On this day I think it is unoccupied. I wonder what Santa has in store for it? October 2010 |
|
|
Fremantle - Markets Looking across South terrace, this photo shows the front of the Fremantle Markets. Construction of these markets commenced in 1897. July 2010 |
|

|
|
Fremantle - Norfolk Hotel On the corner of South Terrace and Norfolk Street is the Norfolk Hotel. This pub used to be the Oddfellows hotel (it was in 1972 when I used to go there) and the site as a pub goes back about 100 years. January 2012 |

|
Fremantle - Henderson Street On Henderson Street looking east. These rather fashionable terraced homes were originally built for prison guard residences who worked just up the road a bit, turn right and up the hill to the old clink! In the 1960's etc they weren't very fashionable at all. How Fremantle has changed. 2007 |
|

|
|
Fremantle - National Hotel This fine hotel sits on the corner of South Terrace and High Street. It was boarded up for several years due to severe fire damage. The restoration is magnificent. Buildings like this are the heart and soul of Fremantle. July 2010 |
|
|
Fremantle - New Edition Bookshop on High Street On High Street just a little west of the National Hotel is the New Edition Bookshop. I have a sneaking feeling this building was a bank in a former life. April 2012 |

Fremantle - Cleopatra Hotel on High Street Another hotel which is no longer an hotel. "Cleopatra Hotel" is emblazoned across the top of the building. In at least the 1980's this was known as "The Auld Mug", referring, or course, to the America's Cup. It's on High Street, near Mouat Street. These days the building is owned by Christian Brothers and used largely for their community programs. January 2012 |

|
|
Fremantle - Rosie O'Grady's Now Rosie O'Grady's, doesn't this building look quite resplendent? This is on William Street just up from the Town Hall. The pub used to be a simple worker's corner pub called the Federal Hotel. 2007 |

|
Fremantle - Prison The grim old Fremantle prison has long been closed and been lately turned into a tourist attraction. This is the main entrance off Holdsworth Street. The high perimeter walls that surrounded the entrance have gone but they remain in place for much of the rest of the prison. This was built between 1852 and 1859 probably due to size limitations of the old Round House prison. January 2009 |
|
|
Fremantle - Prison House This building is just south of the prison main gate. Looks very picturesque. Went in to have a look at what it is but the sign says "Private". This might have been a home to the prison C.O. in the old days? January 2009 |
