Maidstone 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 Maidstone 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 Maidstone in 2021, 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.5594.01 - Short St 8 Maidstone - Former Police Station 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5594.02 - Short St 8 Maidstone - Former Police Station 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5594.03 - Short St 8 Maidstone - Former Police Station 2021 Photo 04.JPG 5594.04 - Studley St 24 Maidstone - Former Shop 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5594.05 - Studley St 34 - 36 Maidstone - Former Salvation Army Church 2021 Photo 03.JPG 5594.06 - Thomson St 28 Maidstone - Former Shop Site 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5594.07 - Thomson St Maidstone - Maidstone Tennis Club 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5594.08 - Thomson St Maidstone - Maidstone Tennis Club 2021 Photo 02.JPG 5594.09 - Thomson St Outside 7 Maidstone - Albert Facey Information Board Photo 01.JPG 5594.10 - Yardley St 21 Maidstone - Maidstone Community Centre 2021 Photo 03.JPG 5594.11 - Hampstead Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel Hampstead Rd 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5594.12 - Hampstead Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 03.JPG 5594.13 - Williamson Road Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 05.JPG 5594.14 - Williamson Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 09.JPG 5594.15 - Williamson Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 12.JPG 5594.16 - Williamson Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 14.JPG 5594.17 - Williamson Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 10.JPG 5594.18 - Williamson Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5594.19 - Williamson Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 15.JPG 5594.20 - Williamson Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 16.JPG 5594.21 - Williamson Rd - Midway Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 17.JPG 5594.22 - Williamson Rd - Philip Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 01.JPG 5594.23 - Williamson Rd - Philip Migrant Hostel 2021 Photo 04.JPG short street, studley street, thomson street, yardley street, hampstead road, williamson road, maidstone, maidstone police station, salvation army church, albert facey, maidstone tennis club, maidstone community centre, midway migrant hostel, philip migrant hostel, student village

Ruyton was founded in 1878 in the Bulleen Road, Kew, home of newly widowed Mrs Charlotte Anderson (now High Street South). There she hired a governess, Miss Flora Barton, to educate a small group of children, including her own, in her front parlour. Her school immediately flourished. By 1882 she was able to move it to larger premises at ‘Edgecomb’, in Studley Park Road, and name it Ruyton, after a family connection with the village of Ruyton-XI-Towns, Shropshire, England. Since that time Ruyton has continued to thrive, outgrowing its Edgecomb site, and another at A’Beckett Street, Kew, before settling into its current home in Selbourne Road in 1920. The centrepiece of this property is Henty House, now named for its original owners, Henry and Marion Henty, but once known as ‘Tarring’. The grand, polychrome brick home was built in 1872 and with nearly four acres of gardens and grounds around it, it has proved to be a place where Ruyton and its students could continue to prosper.

George Wharton arrived in Melbourne in 1844. An architect and surveyor, he was appointed to lay out the 'Village of Kew' by N.A. Fenwick following the land sales of 1851. A protagonist for Kew's separation from the Boroondara District Road Board, he was elected chairman when Kew achieved municipal status in December 1860. His home, 'Fernhurst', was built in 1866 on eight acres in Studley Park, with a four-storey tower and pyramidal roof. The Italianate home was a prominent Kew landmark. It was demolished in 1979 and replaced by St Paul's College in 1980.Rare colour photograph of what was once a significant mansion in Kew.Original colour positive photograph (Kodak print) of 'Fernhurst' in 1978. Photographed by Stewart West in May 1978, one year before it was demolished, the photograph gives little idea of the large landholding once surrounding the house. Originally accessed from near the corner of Princess Street and Studley Park Road, its gardens had been subdivided in the 1900s and its footprint restricted to 13 Fernhurst Grove. Like many other grand houses, by the 1970s it had been converted into apartments. From the photograph, one can see that the house had retained many of its original features such as the distinctive tower and the wide bow-fronted verandah. The slates on the roof (apart from those on the tower) had been replaced by tiles and the cement render of the exterior painted white.
