The Collingwood Historical Society, with the support of the City of
Yarra and Heritage
Victoria, has installed 12 plaques to mark local buildings of significance and allow passers-by to share a new layer of awareness and appreciation of the history of their community...
The sites relate to the industrial heritage of the area and represent the first two stages of an ongoing project to inform the community about the historic importance of Collingwood in the development of Melbourne (and Victoria). The information on each plaques is necessarily brief, so for each site additional information, including the address, has been prepared and can be viewed via the links below. This information was originally on the City of Yarra site and is reproduced with permission.
The plaque sites (HV indicates that the plaque was placed by Heritage Victoria - all others were placed by City of Yarra) are:
