Photograph shows the laying of a new northern exit/entry road for Essendon Depot. Grooved tramway rail and turnouts are in place supported by timber sleepers. Part of the footpath and a section roadway on Mt Alexander Road are excavated for these works. Three workmen in civilian clothes are tightening tie bars; W2 class tram 552 has cleared the new works bound for Essendon Aerodrome route 59 with weather blinds down; three motor vehicles are shown in the distance, two with the distinctive shape of a Holden. The high fence and tennis court opposite the depot are part of a Catholic convent and teachers college. Records suggest the date is September 1960 when the single northern exit/entry track to the southbound line was replaced with this double track. Until this time, a separate crossover provided a connection to the northbound line. This new arrangement meant that trams running out or in from the northbound track no longer had to negotiate a crossover, thus reducing motor traffic congestion. The obsolete crossover was removed. It is likely that in the following days mass concrete was used to rebuild the roadway. As tramway rail with a flangeway was no longer produced in Australia from the 1960s, railway-type rail without a flangeway was used instead and the flangeway provided by a groove in the concrete.

James Albon is credited with building the first bowling green in Surrey Hills at his home on the corner of Mont Albert Road and Wilson Street (later occupied by the Roman Catholic convent). This green was so popular with his friends that he organised the formation of a bowling club at the corner of Montrose and Wilson Streets. It opened in 1912. Earliest club records date from 1916. The original club-house was rebuilt in 1922/23 using interlocking blocks as recommended by Walter Burley-Griffin. This was quite an innovative design at the time. In turn cream brick buildings replaced this building in the 1950s. The Surrey Hills Bowls Club disbanded in 1995. The donor believed that this spoon belong to her grandfather David Miller (Dave) Mair who lived at 20 Barton Street until his death in 1938. Dave was an extremely keen sportsman (particularly bowls and cricket). He started the Kangaroo Cricket Club and worked for the Melbourne Cricket Club. She initially sent the spoon to the Surrey Hills Bowling Club in 1996, not realising that it had closed the previous year. It was returned to her and over 20 years later was donated to this collection. This is part of a large donation of material relating to the Deakin, Mair and Young families, all with connections to the Surrey Hills and Mont Albert area. This augments other material relating to the history of the Surrey Hills Bowling Club that was saved by Jocelyn and Ken Hall after the club closed in 1995. The official records of the club were deposited with the State Library of Victoria, but prior to this some summary notes were made by the Halls. The material is evidence of one of the earliest sporting clubs established in the area.An EPNS metal teaspoon, consisting of a curved bowl with a decorative plaque at the top of the handle. On the front of this is an image of a lawn bowls ball and a jack within a scroll and linked with a band containing the words "SURREY HILLS BOWLING CLUB VIC".

The makers name is impressed into the back of the handle.Rear: "Paramount" / "E.P.N.S."surrey hills bowling club, souvenir spoons, david miller mair, dave mair, laurie young, laurie newton

The City of Moorabbin Historical Society was formed c 1960 by a group of Moorabbin residents who were concerned that the history of the area should be preserved.

St. Anns College had its beginnings in the arrival in May 1872 of a group of nuns from Ireland. They were the third group of Sisters of Mercy to come to Victoria. The Warrnambool nuns worked hard to establish a school and orphanage for the socially disadvantaged children of the district. They purchased Wyton from Captain Ardlie that year and also Amhurst later on. The Nazareth sisters of Ballarat took over the orphanage in the late 1880's and moved the children to Ballarat but the school continued to develop an expanding curriculum. A chapel was built in 1887 and a school wing in 1906. They survived on tuition fees and the generosity of benefactors though the early and middle part of the 20th century including a large bequest by Mrs Vera Kenna in the 1960's. Boarders were a regular part of convent life until the 1970's which is probably the source of this plate. St Ann's College was combined with St Joseph's CBC college as Emmanuel College and operates today as the largest Catholic college in the district.This has significance as it is associated with one of the longest running schools in the district and hence would have a connection to many Warrnambool people as well as district people who boarded at the college.White bowl, with green and yellow stripe around edge and emblem.

Coolock House, on the corner of View and Valentine Streets in Bendigo has a rich history marked by notable ownership and varied uses. Acquired in 1908 by George Victor Lansell, son of Bendigo's famous "Quartz King" George Lansell, as a home for himself and his bride, Edith Florence Gwendoline (Gwen) Frew. The couple named the house "Denderah" after a village and temple in Egypt they visited on their honeymoon. After Sir George's death in January 1959, the property was auctioned and renamed "Coolock House." It Served as a convent for the Sisters of Mercy and as a venue for meetings. The original "Coolock House" name is also associated with a Sisters of Mercy house outside Dublin. Currently, Coolock House is used as classrooms for Catholic College students in Bendigo. The building retains elegant historical features such as hand-carved mahogany fireplaces, leadlight and stained glass windows, wrought ironwork, and a sweeping mahogany staircase. A notable anecdote is that Lady Lansell would watch guests arrive from a small bay window at the top of the staircase. Coolock House remains a significant heritage building, blending its storied past with ongoing educational use. 1959 AUCTION The auction catalog (24 pages) and sale notice for the estate of the late Sir George Lansell, held at his residence "Denderah" in Bendigo on April 7th and 8th, 1959.

Formerly the home of Henry Hopwood. Apsley House, No. 1 Echuca. This was purchased for the Bridgine nuns to establish a catholic co-education school in Echuca. Extensions were made to the original structure (to the south of this building) with outbuildings and brick stables converted to school rooms during the late 1886 and opened as St Joseph's in 1887. The front section of the school was built in 1888. At the time of this photograph the upper floor of the building was the boarding house. The school building holds historical, social and spiritual significance to Echuca being the former home of Echuca's founder, Henry Hopwood. The diocese purchased the original building for 1,000 pounds. The school opened as a co-educational school on 22/3/1886 with 16 boys and 7 girls. It's first enrolment was a non-Catholic boy. By the end of 1886 there were 30 pupils. The boarding school opened on 4/5/1886 with 6 students. The chapel (to the north of this building) was built in 1889. For 60 years the school provided both primary and secondary schooling but in 1960's it changed to secondary schooling. The boarding house closed around 1986 and the school continued as a co-educational catholic college.Colour photograph (post-card size) of Bridgine Convent, Echuca (St.Joseph's College), showing arched facade over the verandah and the upper louvred windows of the boarding house.On front above the entrance "Brigidine Convent A.D. 1886..

Sister Chanel, was later known as Sister Julia Williams. She was professed on the 7th December 1963. She is mentioned in a history of the Brigidine Sister, by Morna Sturrock, Women of Strength, Women of Gentleness: Brigidine Sisters - Victoria Province, David Lovell Publishing, Victoria Australia, 1995, page 290. Sister Chanel (Sister Julia Williams) undertook a study of Ardeer in 1985, as part of her university studies. At the time, she was based at the Brigidine Convent in Blanche Street, Ardeer, opposite the Mother of God Catholic Primary School. Some years later, she was living at Unit 3, 387 Station Street, Bonbeach, Vic, 3196. Today, the Brigidine Convent at Ardeer no longer exists. The buildings have been demolished. The local schools begun by the Brigidine Sisters are now entirely staffed by lay teachers. There is a Brigidine Centre in Malvern, which contains archives relating to the Brigidine Sisters' history.The Brigidine Sisters (often misheard as “Bridiline”) are a long‑established Catholic religious congregation with a major historical presence in Melbourne, especially in education and social justice work. They arrived in Victoria in the 1880s and continue to operate schools, ministries, and community programs across the state.5384.01 - A Regional Study Of The Region Of Ardeer Envelope.jpg Text - A Regional Study Of The Region Of Ardeer 5384.02 - A Regional Study Of The Region Of Ardeer Page 1.jpg Text - A Regional Study Of The Region Of Ardeer 5384.02 - A Regional Study Of The Region Of Ardeer Page 2.jpg 5384.02 - A Regional Study Of The Region Of Ardeer Page 3.jpg Text - Subject HU211 Regionalism And Australia 5384.02 - A Regional Study Of The Region Of Ardeer Page 4.jpg Text - Ardeer Regions Selected 5384.02 - A Regional Study Of The Region Of Ardeer Page 5.jpg Melway Map 5384.02 - A Regional Study Of The Region Of Ardeer Page 6.jpg Text - Ardeer Never Heard Of It.

Sister Chanel, was later known as Sister Julia Williams. She was professed on the 7th December 1963. She is mentioned in a history of the Brigidine Sister, by Morna Sturrock, Women of Strength, Women of Gentleness: Brigidine Sisters - Victoria Province, David Lovell Publishing, Victoria Australia, 1995, page 290. Sister Chanel (Sister Julia Williams) undertook a study of Ardeer in 1985, as part of her university studies. At the time, she was based at the Brigidine Convent in Blanche Street, Ardeer, opposite the Mother of God Catholic Primary School. Some years later, she was living at Unit 3, 387 Station Street, Bonbeach, Vic, 3196. These photographs have been scanned from her university work "A Study Of The Region Of Ardeer" Today, the Brigidine Convent at Ardeer no longer exists. The buildings have been demolished. The local schools begun by the Brigidine Sisters are now entirely staffed by lay teachers. There is a Brigidine Centre in Malvern, which contains archives relating to the Brigidine Sisters' history.These black & white photographs capture Ardeer's street scenes and other points of interest in the 1980's5383.01 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Holt Street Shopping Centre.jpg 5383.02 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Holt Street Milk Bar And Post Office.jpg 5383.03 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - 29 - 31 Maxwell Street Shopping Centre.jpg 5383.04 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - 60 - 62 Maxwell Street Shopping Centre.jpg 5383.05 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Mother Of God Catholic Church Blanche Street.jpg 5383.06 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Mother Of God Catholic Church Blanche Street.jpg 5383.07 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Mother Of God Catholic Church Blanche Street.jpg 5383.08 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Mother Of God Catholic Church Blanche Street.jpg 5383.09 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Mother Of God Catholic Primary School Blanche Street.jpg 5383.10 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Ukrainian Catholic Church Forrest Street.jpg 5383.11 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Ukrainian Hall Suspension Street.jpg 5383.12 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Polish Hall Helene Street.jpg 5383.13 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Queen Of Heaven Catholic Church Holt Street.jpg 5383.14 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - More Park Women's Sport Centre Esmond Street.jpg 5383.15 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Kororoit Creek Bridge West Street To Esmond Street.jpg 5383.16 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Kororoit Creek Bridge West Street To Esmond Street.jpg 5383.17 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - ICIANZ Ballarat Road Entrance 1979.jpg 5383.18 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Ardeer Railway Station.jpg 5383.19 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Motor Rail Train At Ardeer Station.jpg 5383.20 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Railway Line Pedestrian Crossing Ridgeway Parade To West Street.jpg 5383.21 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Railway Line Pedestrian Crossing Ardeer Station Ridgeway Parade To Forrest Street.jpg 5383.22 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Old Service Station.jpg 5383.23 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - New House.jpg 5383.24 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Ardeer State School Looking From Suspension Street.jpg 5383.25 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Besco Batteries Forrest Street.jpg 5383.26 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Corner Yallourn Street And Rockbank Road.jpg 5383.27 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - House.jpg 5383.28 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Kororoit Creek From Ballarat Road.jpg 5383.29 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Forrest Street Corner Fitzgerald Road.jpg 5383.30 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Half House.jpg 5383.31 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - House.jpg 5383.32 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Entrance To ICIANZ Forrest Street.jpg 5383.33 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - ICIANZ Explosive Reserve View From More Park Esmond Road.jpg 5383.34 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Explosive Train Shunting Across Forrest Street.jpg 5383.35 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - House.jpg 5383.36 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Kororoit Creek.jpg 5383.37 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Market Gardens Yallourn Street.jpg 5383.38 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Playground.jpg 5383.39 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Polish Soccer Club Playgroup.jpg 5383.40 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Scotch Thistles.jpg 5383.41 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Small House.jpg 5383.42 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Tower Road Proposed Freeway Site (Now Scrapped).jpg 5383.43 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Vacant Block.jpg 5383.44 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Vegetable Garden.jpg 5383.45 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Yallourn Street.jpg 5383.46 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Half House.jpg 5383.47 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Horse Riding School Forrest Street.jpg 5383.48 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Horse Riding School Forrest Street.jpg 5383.49 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Kororoit Creek Bridge Yalloun Street to Ballarat Road.jpg 5383.50 - Images of Ardeer By Sister Chanel - Vegetable Garden.jpg
