Curious about Croydon and its Conservation?? Come on a Guided Walking Tour of one of its key Conservation Areas – Malvern Hill

Joint Function – Ashfield and Burwood District Historical Societies

The guided walk will be led by John Johnson, Vice President of Burwood and District Historical Society. John has written a book about the history of the Malvern Hill estate which is shortly to be published.

Croydon falls into 2 local government areas – Inner West (incorporating the former Ashfield Municipality) and Burwood Local Government areas. Although administration is separate, the suburb is seen as one place for its identity, functions and history. For instance, the Gads Hill Conservation Area (Inner West) adjoins Malvern Hill, the subject of this walk. Malvern Hill was a later subdivision which was planned in accordance with the Local Government Act introduced in 1906. Principally a residential area, it was seen as a desirable place to live and features Federation and Californian Bungalow architectural styles.

The ADHS publication, Journal 18 -Croydon in Focus, can provide you with more insights into the suburb of Croydon.

Meeting Place: The Old Croydon Post Office (now the Adora Chocolate shop), The Strand Croydon.
