|
|
Northbridge - William Street Sieu Thi Golden Gates is just one of many Chinese shops along William Street. By May 2008 this shop is no longer yellow, it's red, and no more groceries - now it's clothes and Chinese bric-a-brac. 2007 |
|
|
Northbridge - William Street Wing Hong butcher's shop is really popular particularly with Asian customers. Good fresh meat as prices that are lower than out in the suburbs. 2007 |

Northbridge - William Street Apparently this building used to be a house of ill-repute but its history is sure to go back further! It's been recently taken over and renovated and now contains interesting Asian shops and offices, including Chinese FM radio station. July 2010 |

Northbridge - William Street Northbridge is still far from maturity - many of these seedy looking boarded-up derelict buildings still exist. Well done City of Perth for improving the footpaths & roads in this area. 2007 |

|
|
Northbridge - Monger Street Orange winter leaves, the red brickwork and even the red car combine to give this photo quite a good earth-colour effect. July 2010 |

Northbridge - Old Police Courts This building is the original old Police Courts. Later it housed the Perth Local Court (civil financial proceedings). Newer courts are now scattered around the city. Nice to see the building so beautifully preserved. It is right at the southern end of Stirling Street. You can see the BankWest Tower in the city in the background. January 2012 |

|
Northbridge - Old Bell Tower On the corner of Beaufort Street and Francis Street is this old bell tower. It was built in 1937 but not here - it used to live at the Loreto Convent in Claremont. The bricks were brought here and the tower was re-built in 1991 although I don't think each brick is in its original position! The Bell Tower Cafe is located behind. January 2012 |
|
|
Northbridge - Hans Cafe A little further up Beaufort Street but still on the corner of Francis Street is this fine row of shops complete with impressive turret on this end of the building. January 2012 |
|
|
Northbridge - Brisbane Hotel Looking like a slice of cake, the Brisbane sits on a wedge-shaped parcel of land on Brisbane and Beaufort Streets. The moody paintwork works well in daylight and is probably a bit eerie in the dark. It actually is really eye-catching. January 2012 |
|
|
Northbridge - 1903 Shops on Beaufort Street This striking row of Federation shops is on Beaufort Street, on the corner of Newcastle Street. They are all unoccupied now, but the tide will turn. The building was constructed in 1903. Up the top, you can faintly see one of the very old tenants who is seems had "named rights" - George & George, Drapers. January 2012 |
|
|
Northbridge - Protestant Hall On Beaufort Street and almost across the road is this old Protestant Hall building which dates back to the Federation era. January 2012 |

|
|
Northbridge - Heritage House on Newcastle Street How about this? This big block - bounded by William, Newcastle and Money streets - is being redeveloped. Nothing unusual about that except this small house is heritage listed and thus can't be demolished. So the builders work around it and will incorporate it in the final design. This is looking side-on, looking west on Newcastle Street. April 2012 |
|
|
Northbridge - Heritage House on Newcastle Street The same heritage listed house. This is looking at the rear. You can see Emma's over on William Street. Excavations below will include car-parking! Retention of the house must have added a fortune to the site development. I'll come back when the development is done and take another picture to see how it looks. April 2012 |
