Jolimont - Shops Jolimont is almost a forgotten suburb - nestled away off Hay Street. The few residential roads are cul-de-sacs with only one entry to the suburb near these shops. This is Jolimont Arcade - a fairly new edition. Back in the 1960's there was a general purpose deli/newsagency on this site. January 2011 |

Jolimont - House This fine looking house is near the Arcade. Great stonework and iron roof. This is fairly typical of restoration efforts - whilst maintaining the original charm - being made in this area. January 2011 |

Jolimont - Church This Catholic Church is at the southern end of Cardigan Terrace, at the top of Peel Street. I remember this church when I used to stay in this area decades ago. January 2011 |

Jolimont - Peel Street Cottages on Peel Street. Many still look more or less the same as they did when I stayed on this street at the end of 1966. Fairly tiny cottages with bull-nosed verandahs and pressed iron ceilings. Two bedrooms at the front, a lounge & kitchen at the back, plus a bathroom, and an outside "dunny". These were built on big blocks so plenty of room for expansion to the rear, plus right down the back is a right-of-way for off-road parking. January 2011 |

Jolimont - Park At the end of Peel, Roseberry and Landsdowne Street is Mabel Talbot Park. The park used to have a lovely lake in the middle but alas like to many of Perth's wetlands, it has dried up. Not a very flattering photo, sorry. January 2011 |
