Municipal Inventory	Adopted	18 Sep 2000	Historic/Archaeological Site	Historic/Archaeological Site Where a place has cultural heritage significance as a result of its former use or because of buildings or structures that formerly existed on the site, interpretive signage such as a plaque should be erected to provide information on the history of the place. If the place is privately owned, Council should encourage the owner to provide interpretive signage and provide assistance where possible to the owner to ensure that any historical information is accurate (i.e. obtained from a reliable source). Archaeology Where development is proposed on the site of a former significant structure or building, an archaeological survey should be carried out prior to development to determine firstly the likelihood or archaeological material being found and secondly whether archaeological excavation is appropriate. The site survey should be carried out by an appropriately qualified historical archaeologist. If recommended an archaeological excavation should be carried out prior to development. Alternatively, an archaeological monitoring brief should be established to ensure that any material discovered during construction is investigated. This brief requires work to stop until an archaeologist has investigated the site in the event of material being uncovered during normal construction works.

Statement of Significance

A gargage has been on this site since the late 1920s - however a new service station now exists on this site. Further investigations would be required should demolition or major alterations be proposed to ensure that none of the original service station remained. Should a new development be proposed, interpretation of the ongoing use of the site as a service station should be incorporated.

History

Hampton Road was originally called Prison Road. It derives its name from John Stephen Hampton (1810-1869), the Governor of WA from 1862-68. He was previously Comptroller of Convicts in Tasmania. His son, G. E. Hampton, was Acting Comptroller-General of the Fremantle Convict Establishment.
The service station at 101 Hampton Road was built in 1927/28 for James Kirk. Prior to this, there had been a cottage on the site (1880 to 1902/03), and then a wood yard and stables.
A workshop was added in 1930/31 and in 1950/51, ownership passed to Quinton Stow, who only owned the property until 1952 when the Shell Company of Australia Ltd took it over. In May 1952, Shell submitted plans for alterations and additions.
Alterations to the garage, including the construction of a canopy, were approved in 1963. A new brick service station was built on the site in 1970.
