Braybrook was originally part of the former Shire of Braybrook and later the City of Sunshine. However, in 1994, Victoria underwent council amalgamations, which resulted in Braybrook being incorporated into the City of Maribyrnong. The suburb of Braybrook continues to attract considerable attention from the residents of City of Brimbank, particularly its historical features, the old buildings and distinctive streetscapes that characterise the area.To capture the essence of Braybrook in 2020, a series of photographs were taken. These images document a range of buildings, street scenes, and other notable points of interest throughout the suburb, providing a visual record of its unique character.5579.01- Ashley St Braybrook - Former 3LO - AWA Frequency Changing Building.JPG 5579.02- Ballarat Rd 353 Braybrook - Braybrook Hotel Photo 01.JPG 5579.03- Ballarat Rd 353 Braybrook - Braybrook Hotel Photo 02.JPG 5579.04- Ballarat Rd 353 Braybrook - Braybrook Hotel Photo 03.JPG 5579.05- Cranwell St Braybrook - Cranwell Park 4th March 2020 Photo 01.JPG 5579.06- Cranwell St Braybrook - Cranwell Park 4th March 2020 Photo 02.JPG 5579.07- Cranwell St Braybrook - Wimble Printer Supplers - Cranwell St 4th March 2020.JPG 5579.08 - Duke St Braybrook - Unit Devlopment 4th March 2020 Photo 01.JPG 5579.09 - Duke St Braybrook - Unit Devlopment 4th March 2020 Photo 02.JPG 5579.10 - Duke St Braybrook - Unit Devlopment 4th March 2020 Photo 03.JPG 5579.11 - Duke St Braybrook - Unit Devlopment 4th March 2020 Photo 04.JPG 5579.12 - Maribrynong River Braybrook 4th March 2020 Photo 01.JPG 5579.13 - Market Place 1 - 17 Place Braybrook.JPG 5579.14 - Salvation Army Hall 40 Myalla St Braybrook 16th Jan 2020.JPG 5579.15 - Churchill Ave Shops 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5579.16 - Churchill Ave Shops 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5579.17 - Churchill Ave Shops 2021 Photo 04.JPG 5579.18 - Cranwell Park 2021 Photo 05.JPG 5579.19 - Cranwell Park 2021 Photo 06.JPG 5579.20 - Cranwell Park 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5579.21 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 03.JPG 5579.22 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5579.23 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 07.JPG 5579.24 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 08.JPG 5579.25 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 09.JPG 5579.26 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 13.JPG 5579.27 - Pennell Reserve 2021 Photo 05.JPG 5579.28 - Skinner Rerserve Pavilion 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5579.29 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 05.JPG 5579.30 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 06.JPG 5579.31 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 07.JPG 5579.32 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 13.JPG 5579.33 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 20.JPG 5579.34 - Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 25.JPG 5579.35 - Lance Reschstein 'Aeroplane' Playground Sign Skinner Reserve 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5579.36 - South Rd 131 - 137 Braybrook 2020.JPG 5579.37 - South Rd 103 - 125 Braybrook 2020.JPG 5579.38 - South Rd 125 - 131 Braybrook 2020.JPG 5579.39 - Myalla St 40 Braybrook - Salvation Army Hall 16th Jan 2020.JPG" ballarat road, ashley street, cranwell street, duke street, market place, braybrook, 3lo radio transmitter, braybrook hotel, cranwell park, wimble, salvation army hall, myalla street, churchill avenue, pennell reserve, braybrook football club, southern cross archery club, skinner reserve, lance reschstein 'aeroplane' playground, braybrook sporting club
