Shedding light on a shady street
It’s one of Brisbane’s prettiest streets and later this month you’ll have a chance to find out how it came about. The New Farm and Districts Historical Society at its monthly meeting on Saturday afternoon, February 27, will have as its theme “…all about Abbott Street”, one of New Farm’s delightful suburban treasures”.
Brisbane architect Robert Riddell will head up a team of eminent presenters to discuss all of the interesting aspects of this New Farm gem.
These will include the historical, the architectural, the horticultural, the societal and the communal nuances that this address has given to us all over a very long time
The meeting takes place at 2pm on Saturday February 27 at the Merthyr Road Uniting Church Hall. The society says it will be a very stimulating and interesting meeting, and all are welcome to attend.
