Statement of Significance What is significant? Prior to 1850, Queens Parade was a track that linked Melbourne to Heidelberg in the east and forked northwards to link to Northcote and the Plenty River district. The road was surveyed by Hoddle as a three chain wide boulevard and reserved in 1853. It was known as the Heidelberg Road, and the northern fork as the Plenty Road until renamed in the early 1900s. Queens Parade formed part of the boundary between Clifton Hill and North Fitzroy. These two government surveyed localities were to the north of the largely privately surveyed and developed South Fitzroy and Collingwood areas and south of the government surveyed agricultural subdivisions in the Brunswick and Northcote areas. The earliest development in the Heritage Overlay Area is in that part of the former 1850s Northcote township reserve that is located in the City of Yarra. The Scotch Thistle, later Terminus Hotel, 492 Queens Parade was built by 1854 on the old town reserve to service travellers at the Merri Creek crossing. Some early bluestone terrace houses (1857) remain at 438 Queens Parade, on the corner of Rushall Crescent. When the East Collingwood Council formed in 1855, Smith, Wellington and Hoddle Streets were extended north to the Queens Parade reserve to make the area more accessible. Lots on Queen's Parade sold from 1865 to 1869 but it remained largely undeveloped until after 1875 with Daintons Family Hotel (now the Normanby Hotel) and the commencement of building work on the St. John's Roman Catholic Church complex in 1876. Cable tram service commenced in 1887 with terminus and tram sheds adjacent to the Terminus Hotel at the Merri Creek (see 492 Queens Parade). In 1888, the Royal Park to Clifton Hill railway opened and in 1889, the cable tram route was extended to Northcote with people having to dismount and change trams at the Merri Creek terminus. On the south side of Queens Parade, Clifton Hill was rapidly filling out in the Boom years but building proceeded at a slower pace on the North Fitzroy side. However North Fitzroy's Queen's Parade frontage contained a greater supply of subdivided land for sale and developed extensively with shops during the late 1880s and 1890s. By the |
