SUMMARY:A Walk Through London Streets in Search of the Origin of our Victorian Italianate Legacy; a presentation by Mark Sabolch
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event is closed.\n\n\n\nIn this pictorial presentation Mark will explore the varied examples of the Italianate architectural style as seen in London. \n\n\n\nThe Italianate style was very popular and versatile. Taking in the housing forms seen around Regents Park\, Belgravia\, Pimlico and Bloomsbury just after the turn of the nineteenth century and evolving as new estates extended into the Victorian growth areas in London’s south-east and north-west suburbs. \n\n\n\nTo what extent are the Victorian Italianate house styles we see in the Inner West derived from London housing? Mark will explore how the Victorian Italianate style evolved and consider possible translations from London to Sydney. This is a combined event of Ashfield and District Historical Society and Marrickville Heritage Society.

SUMMARY:LAUNCH OF PRESERVING THEIR NAMES
DESCRIPTION:The Society’s journal commemorating those from Ashfield and district who served in WW1. is now ready to be distributed. The research began with the work of Kerry Ann O’Reilly and Peter Byron recording the names on as many local WW1 Honour Boards as they could find. Then more searches of a variety of sources by a dedicated team added to the list and we ended up with over 3\,000 names. Detailed stories from 19 entries were explored and in the process some surprises were found. One story is about the five Jones brothers\, from 156 Liverpool Road Ashfield. \nPreserving Their Names was compiled and edited by Bernadette Williamson and Carolyn Carter\, with contributions from the Committee. The publication is free for financial members of the Society. \nGUEST SPEAKER –  BRAD MANERA\nWe are delighted that Brad Manera\, the CEO and Senior Historian at Sydney’s Hyde Park Anzac Memorial\, will launch Preserving Their Names. Mr Manera is described by the NSW RSL as a “war history guru”. His life-long passion for military history and battlefield archaeology has transcended both pastime and vocation. Mr Manera was a member of the editorial team writing the official history of NSW in the Great War. \nThere is a limit of 40 people at this COVID 19 aware event. BYO mask. A waiting list will be established in case places become available closer to the day or restrictions are further eased. \nPlease email to reserve a place at this event:  events@ashfieldhistory.org.au

SUMMARY:Talk by Bob Irving: Australia's Oldest Building
DESCRIPTION:A presentation by Robert Irving OAM will be held on Sunday on 18 October 2020. The esteemed architectural historian and author Bob Irving (a member of our Society) has a wealth of knowledge on history and heritage will present a talk to the Society on Australia’s First Real Building.\nBob’s presentation will illustrate one of the least-known historical events in the early history of Australia. It was the arrival on the First Fleet in 1788 of the portable house that Governor Arthur Phillip brought to Sydney Cove for his occupation until what is now known as the (long-gone) First Government House could be erected for him. The assembled portable house became Australia’s very first prefabricated building —a remarkable example in the New World of the burgeoning industrial revolution in Britain.\nThe talk is the product of new research showing for the first time the nature and origin of this important part of our architectural history. Professor Max Freeland called it ‘Australia’s first real building’.

SUMMARY:Save Our Sirius: Shaun Carter
DESCRIPTION:Following the Annual General Meeting\, Shaun Carter will talk to us about the Sirius apartment building in Millers Point and other heritage matters. We have all heard about the NSW government’s action to have the Sirius building demolished – some people thinking it’s a good idea\, others not. However\, the idea that a building containing 79 apartments will be demolished to build a huge block of 250 apartments (possibly 30-storeys) is not appealing to most. Shaun will tell us about his research into the history and significance of the Sirius building\, including the Green Ban movement and Jack Mundey’s involvement. He will put forward his understanding of the building\, its place in the urban environment and the fight to have it saved. Shaun is a passionate speaker on the Sirius and other heritage issues and this is a great opportunity for members and friends to hear the inside story. \nThe Sirius Building

SUMMARY:The 50 Year History of the Polish Community in Ashfield
DESCRIPTION:Members of the Polish Club have agreed to host members and friends of our Society to a special afternoon at their Club where Eva Habijanec and other members will talk about how a large number of ‘displaced’ Polish people gathered post-war to live near to Ashfield in the late 1940s and 50s and finally established the Polish Club.  Eva’s parents came to Australia separately from Poland and Siberia.  Her father initially worked on the Snowy Mountains Scheme and her mother worked at Kims on the Beach at Toowoon Bay before they met and married.  Please take a close look at the photograph to see if you can identify anyone.  Halina and current members of the Polish Club have a few names but would like to know more.  If you can help please let her know at the upcoming function or email us adhs@tpg.com.au with the information.  Thank you in advance. \nPolish-Community-1951-St-Vincents-Church-in-Bland-Street-Photio-supplied-by-Halina-Dallas-one-of-the-three-little-girls-in-the-front-row.
