Heritage Walk - Victorian Grandeur

Led by Jeff Atkinson of the Carlton Community History group

Carlton has probably the best examples in Australia of the eloquent ‘boom era’ architecture of the late 19th century, complete with English style squares, and generously designed streets of south Carlton, laid out in the 1850’s by Robert Hoddle, who also designed the grid of Melbourne’s central business district. Join a local historian for a walk through some of south Carlton’s most picturesque and historic streets, and enjoy some of its grandest buildings.

Meeting point: The corner of Grattan and Drummond Streets, Carlton.
