Digitised video (2.94GB). Duration: 57 minutes. Recorded October, 2025 (Video is available for viewing at Ringwood & District Historical Society Archives by appointment)For this presentation, prominent researcher and RDHS member Anne Heywood has been busy uncovering the history of this relatively unknown area of Ringwood. It is the convergence of four suburbs - Mitcham, Ringwood, Heathmont and Vermont. The area has been a mixture of agriculture, then light industry, and is disected by rail and power lines, yet joins two major east-west arterial roads - Canterbury Road and Maroondah Highway.
