Jenny Seaton from Curtin Radio interviews Jo Darbyshire on the people of Streets of Freo. The on-air chat took place on Thursday, September 29th at 1:20 pm.

Research Notes 

The list of residents in each house has been extracted from the WA Post Office Directories (1893-1949) and newspaper articles found on Trove (1803-1954). Sometimes street renumbering or subdivision after these times affects the accuracy of what is reflected in these records.

We encourage Fremantle’s past and present residents to share their own knowledge in contributing to the project. Please email jo@museumofperth.com.au.
