SUMMARY:A guided tour and historical outline of the Trinity Grammar School site.
DESCRIPTION:Registrations for this event have now closed. \n\n\n\nThis visit has been unavoidably rescheduled to 28th September (Saturday)\, as now shown. The School Archivists offer their apologies. Those already registered will be contacted to confirm their attendance. \n\n\n\nAlison Doran (School Archivist) has agreed to conduct a guided tour and historical outline of the Trinity Grammar School site\, for History Week in September.  \n\n\n\nTrinity Grammar School occupies a site between Victoria Street and Prospect Road\, with an interesting history in its own right. One of the earliest grants in this district by Acting Governor Francis Grose\, it passed through several hands before attracting the eye of Sir Henry Parkes\, who cancelled sales of asubdivision of a failed school in 1880 to secure a site for a Teacher Training School. Most of it has remained in the world of Education ever since !No less an interesting history is enjoyed by the School which now occupies most of that subdivision plan. It began in the Church Hall of Holy Trinity in Dulwich Hill\, the far-sighted brainchild of The Reverend (later Bishop) Chambers\, and despite many hurdles\, survived and thrived.The Trinity Grammar School Archivist will examine both the School and its Site\, conducting a group through some secret passages and mysterious stairways in doing so. Afternoon Tea is provided.Numbers must be limited\, registration essential.NOTE: Unfortunately\, some of the route could prove difficult for anyone with mobility issues. \n\n\n\nNumbers will be limited for this event. \n\n\n\nNote this is a Saturday event –  \n\n\n\nA meeting point\, time and other details to be advised in due course.

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:Conformity and Individuality in the Californian Bungalow
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will look at the ubiquitous ‘Californian Bungalow’ prevalent in the Inner West with a particular focus on Ashfield and Ashbury. Colin Webb will look at some of the features of Californian Bungalows that make them unique and how they conform. \n\n\n\nWere the Calfornian bungalows ‘unimpressive and uniformly dull?‘ \n\n\n\nColin has taken numerous photographs of Californian bungalows in our local area to illustrate the points he will make in his presentation.

SUMMARY:"Connections\, Characters and Commerce"– Smith Street Summer Hill #3
DESCRIPTION:Each person registering for this event must register individually. This will help us keep limits on the number of people attending.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nA guided walk to flesh out the characters\, places and events that contribute to our heritage of Smith Street\, Summer Hill. This event is part of the Australian Heritage Festival for 2024. \n\n\n\nThe history beneath the surface of Smith Street is extraordinary. This walking tour will uncover the natural features of the landscape\, which by the 1880s became the site for a late-Victorian building boom.  How did the new subdivisions respond to the landscape\, and who were the first urban landowners and residents?  Was Summer Hill the domain of the fashionable well-to-do\, or the labouring class\, or both? Why? The shops\, the halls\, the churches and the meeting venues\, the factories\, the houses and the duplexes are still active and visible today\, and yet the pressure for change remains strong. The story of Smith Street gives us a great insight into the complex nature of Summer Hill and Inner West society of today. \n\n\n\nMeeting location at the park on the corner of Malthouse Way and Smith Street\, Summer Hill. \n\n\n\nPrior registration is essential and limited to a maximum of 15 people per event. (A waiting list will be compiled if registrations exceed our maximum limit). \n\n\n\nPlease bring a hat\, a drink and good walking shoes.

SUMMARY:Launch of Our New Houses Journal
DESCRIPTION:The new Houses journal covers\, in detail\, twelve houses and their occupants\, with copious illustrations. It is a follow up to our 2018 publication\, Houses of the Ashfield District. The preparation of this publication was supported by an Inner West Council grant.  \n\n\n\nMembers will be able to collect their copy of the new Houses journal at this event. \n\n\n\nTo launch this Journal\, Society Member Dennis McManus PSM will speak on heritage in the Southern Highlands \n\n\n\nHeritage in the Southern Highlands\n\n\n\nThis illustrated talk provides a background to a recent 2021-2023  Wingecarribee Shire Community Heritage Study. The illustrations will confirm that\, like Ashfield\, the heritage of the Shire is no accident. It is the result of people who had both the ideas and resources to employ competent and sometimes renowned local and Sydney based architects\, builders and others to make their dream a reality. Like Ashfield\, the work of local historians has been of major assistance to the Shire Council in providing the best possible advice to ensure informed heritage management. \n\n\n\nDennis is an Hon. Heritage Consultant and Retired Senior Officerof the NSW Heritage Council. He was awarded a Public Service Medal in 1997 for services to Heritage Conservation in NSW.  Dennis wrote a 21 page article on Victoria Square\,  Ashfield and his home\, Portland House\,  for the 2018 Houses of the Ashfield District. \n\n\n\nRefreshments provided. \n\n\n\nRegistration Required. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue: Summer Hill Community Centre\, 131 Smith Street\, Summer Hill

DESCRIPTION:This project is supported by Create NSW’s Grant Program administered by the Royal Australian Historical Society on behalf of the NSW Government.\n\n\n\nJohn Jasper Stone was born in Shoreditch\, a poor part of London and at age seven\, arrived in Australia in 1855 with his parents\, settling in crowded Surry Hills. As a lad\, he joined the Public Works Department in Sydney and trained as a draughtsman\, later becoming a civil engineer. In 1888 Stone branched out on his own as a Consulting Engineer\, Patent Attorney and Architect and over his working life was involved in many projects across New South Wales. \n\n\n\nAnn O’Connell has researched and written a book about Stone\, with information and images of his buildings\, industrial works and patents that have been identified.  Among these are several houses in Ashfield and also the original Baptist Church in Holden Street. \n\n\n\nAshfield Baptist Church\, built in 1885 and opened in January 1886\, survives today\, hidden behind a shopfront in Holden Street Ashfield.  (Photo courtesy of David Chivers\, ADHS Collection)\n\n\n\nRegistration Required. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOrganiser

They form the basis of South Flows the Pearl: Chinese Australian Voices\, published by Sydney University Press in February 2022.The unique book with stories from across the country from Perth\, Broome\, Darwin\, Sydney and outback Queensland and New South Wales provides a new perspective on what it means to be an Australian with Chinese heritage.

In 1946 she settled in China where she worked as a journalist and English teacher until after the Cultural Revolution\, eventually returning to Australia in 1981 with her daughter Siaoman Yen.Mavis then began recording and writing this landmark pioneering oral history book which will change how you think about Australian history.Learn more about South Flows the Pearl from the book’s editor Richard Horsburgh. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRichard Horsburgh\n\n\n\nChang Family Tamworth c. 1912
