History

The area around Hulbert Street was subdivided by John Thomas in 1896. The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. House, 31 Hulbert Street was built c. 1900. In 1900, a cottage owned and occupied by Almer Aymer was listed in the rate book. By 1905/06, the cottage was owned by Paul Bailey and occupied by Charles Cordin, an engineer. Sarah Taylor was the owner and occupant in 1910/11. David Hunter owned House, 31 Hulbert Street from c. 1915 to c. 1925 and lived there for most of that time. The property was then owned by the Simmons family for about 15 years, before being purchased by Evelyn McGrath (later Griffiths). A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 31 Hulbert Street as a weatherboard house with a full length front verandah. The house had an addition of some sort (verandah or enclosed?) connecting the house with the garage. A path led from the street to this section of the house. House, 31 Hulbert Street has had a number of owners since the 1960s. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.

History

The area around Hulbert Street was subdivided by John Thomas in 1896. The street was originally called Jane Street. It was changed in honour of an accountant named Hulbert who lived in Jane Street for a time and worked at the smelting works. By 1900, two cottages had been built on Town Lot 11 of Subdivision 98 (later 4 Hulbert Street). The cottages were owned by Archibald Brown. One cottage was vacant and the other was occupied by Andrew Presley. By 1905/06, Robert White was the owner of the property. The occupants at this time were the owner and John Shier, a labourer. Robert White continued to own the cottages until his death c. 1920. Both cottages were let to tenants from c. 1910. Following White’s death, the property was bought by local identity, Bartholomew Daly. From 1925/26, only one tenant was listed, suggesting that a new house may have been built on the property about this time. Henry McCorry was the tenant in 1925/26; Annie Ford in 1930/31. In 1935/36, Isiah Potter bought the property from the Estate of Bartholomew Daly. The house number also changed from #14 to #4 in this year. Mr Potter continued to own the house until c. 1950, when it was sold to George and Ivy Busher, who had been tenants in the house since c. 1945. The Bushers sold the house to May Smyth in the mid-1960s and the house has had a number of owners since that time.

History

The area in South Fremantle along the coast between South Street and Douro Road was subdivided into five acre allotments between 1850 and 1870. In 1890 an Auction was held for 102 allotments of land in the local area that included Inverleith Street. The land was described as “Beautifully situated in that rapidly rising neighbourhood between Beaconsfield and the Sea”. There was a rapid increase in the Fremantle’s population during the late 1890s and early 1900s, particularly due to the influx of people following the Western Australian Gold Rush. Many local industries developed such as the Owen Anchorage Railway to Robbs Jetty, the smelting works at South Beach, the Mills and Wares biscuit factory, wool sheds and Daly roadworks and local quarries. As can be seen in the archival maps the residential development of the South Fremantle area also increased. During the 1920s and 1930s commercial development in Fremantle slowed in response to the affects of World War l and the Depression. South Fremantle, a predominantly working class area also felt the economic downturn and businesses such as the smelting works ceased operation. Typically during these hard times social interaction became more important in people’s lives. South Beach because one of the metropolitan area’s favoured recreational area. In 1923 the construction of the two storey weatherboard ‘hyrdrodome’ commenced which had a concert/dance hall, tea rooms, and change rooms. The Fremantle Sailing Club built a clubhouse in 1924 and held regular regattas. The jetty was reconstructed in 1925 at the same time the area near the beach was grassed and planted with Norfolk Island pines. During 1927-1928 a protective seawall and the swimming area was enclosed with shark-proof netting. Remaining very working class, South Fremantle (sometimes known as South Beach) became a more desirable place to live. The 1924 Rates Books show that Lot 82 and ½ of Lot 83 (later 8 Inverleith Street) was a vacant site and owned by Edward Henry Fothergill (Lot 82) and Payne Burningham (Lot ½ of 83). E.D. Fothergill was a Fremantle Mayor and Councillor until 1923 who was keen to promote the South Beach recreational development. House, 8 Inverleith Street was built in 1927 as shown where a ‘new building’ is listed in the Western Australian Post Office Directories. The Electoral Roles show that the house was named “Kelvin Grove” probably after the Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow, Scotland. The Rates Books show that the house was built for Gavin Smith was the owner and he lived there with his wife Mary until they moved to Wiluna. Mr. Smith retained ownership until c.1950, although he later rented the house to tenants, including Mrs Jessie Williams from 1937 until her death in 1948. Gavin Smith died aged 64 in 1960. During the 1950s, the house at 8 Inverleith Street was owned by Irene and W. Bennett, Frank Manford, Leslie Arnold and Wiliam & Elizabeth Bowland. John Levine was a tenant in the house for much of this time. A diagram dated 1954 shows House, 8 Inverleith Street as a weatherboard house with a full length front verandah and steps leading to a small central front porch. There was an asbestos garage located to the side and rear of the house, with a formed driveway leading from the street. Paving linked the driveway with a number of outbuildings in the backyard. Owners in the 1960s included Eveline Hembrey, Alexander Blackburn and Robert Greig. House, 8 Inverleith Street has also had a number of owners since that time. In 2014 the City of Fremantle refused a development application for demolition. An application for alterations and additions has be granted approval by the City. There is a photograph in the Local History Collection taken by John Taylor Architect in 1993 as part of a Heritage Study of South Fremantle. There are no further records in the property file.

HOLLIS PARK

Physical Description

The area known as Hollis Park comprises an area of approximately 9.27 hectares. The majority of the area is currently fenced due to the land being contaminated from its former use as a rubbish tip; therefore the whole site was not inspected in 2014 for this assessment. Within Hollis Park areas of vegetation, grass and sand dunes are apparent, as well as some areas sparsely populated with new tree growth. Around the perimeter of the fencing there are areas of sand which show evidence (hoof prints) of ongoing use by horses.

History

The first official race was held on 2nd October 1833 at ‘The Downs’ in South Fremantle. This area is now known as South Beach Horse Exercise Area. The site of the colony’s first horse race had been carefully chosen. Newspaper reports record that the race course had ‘long been fixed upon as an appropriate site’. Located a mile and a half south of Fremantle, the beach course was overlooked by dunes which provided spectators a suitable place to enjoy a full view of the race. Beach training depended upon the weather and the tides and, when possible, the horses might be worked at the beach both morning and afternoon, and sometimes even by moonlight. When the tide was out, there was sufficient area for the horses to gallop five or more abreast. When the beach was unsuitable, local trainers worked their horses in the dunes area, such as the area to the north east of the beach known as Hollis Park, which was also used for slow work and for horse-breaking. Numerous paths were established through the sand hills leading down to South Beach Horse Exercise Area, and also ‘up to a dozen informal tracks for distance work’. Each morning, horses were walked to the beach, which became a hive of activity as Fremantle trainers exercised, galloped and swam their horses. Delivery horses, which were used by many businesses, were often taken to the beach on Sundays for a swim and exercise. Increased development in the 1920s and 1930s meant that the exercise beach became more isolated from the nearby horse stables. The tracks and path ways traditionally used by the horse trainers to the beach from the stables became fewer as new construction in-filled previously vacant areas. In 1931 the area to the northeast of the beach, known as Hollis Park, ceased being used for horse breaking and the area was used (until 1959) as a rubbish tip. In the 1950s and 1960s, further development occurred in the South Fremantle/Cockburn area, including the construction of South Fremantle Power Station in 1951 to the south of South Beach Horse Exercise Area. Residential development led to the introduction of by-laws to regulate the proximity of horse stables to a minimum of 50 ft from dwellings. By the 1970s, this by-law was rigorously enforced and the number of horses using South Beach Horse Exercise Area decreased as those remaining stables in the Fremantle area were closed and trainers were forced to shift farther south to Kwinana. Those stables which continued to operate in the South Fremantle/Cockburn area still used South Beach Horse Exercise Area for exercising, training and horse-breaking. The dismantling of Robb Jetty following a fire in 1975, closure of South Fremantle Power Station in 1985, and the demolition of the Robb Jetty Abattoir in 1995 marked the end of South Fremantle/Cockburn as primarily an industrial-use area, and a move towards mixed use urban development. Increasing urban development meant that by the 1990s the number of horses regularly using the horse beach for exercise had reduced to just fifty, with some travelling from stables outside of the South Fremantle/Cockburn area.

[10 Jenkin Street was #18.] Annie Warthwyre owned the terraces and it appears that #18 was vacant in 1905/06. A diagram dated 1907 shows five brick terrace houses with full length front verandahs. Numbers 10 & 12 and 14 & 16 were mirror pairs, with centrally located front steps and L-shaped rear verandahs, with weatherboard bathrooms at one end. Number 18 was constructed on the same plan as numbers 10 and 14. All five houses had rear access via a laneway that ran beside #10 and around the rear of the lots. The backyard of #18 was slightly larger than the rest (as the rear laneway did not extend across the back of that block). Peter Reynolds owned the terraces between c. 1915 and c. 1920; Alexander Moir between c. 1920 and the early 1950s. When Moir sold the terraces, they were bought by separate owners. Terrace, 10 Jenkin Street was purchased by Giovanni De Felice. Mr De Felice sold the property within a couple of years to Umberto Ricciardi. It was then sold to Pietro Rovedatti and then Artilio and Italia Pozzobon. Ernesto and Anthonia Muraca owned Terrace, 10 Jenkin Street in the early 1970s and the terrace has had a number of owners since that time. A diagram dated 1954 shows the same plan form for the five terraces as in 1907. This place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993. It was also included in the list of heritage places in the City of Fremantle identified by the Fremantle Society (1979/80) - RED -significant for contributing to the unique character of Fremantle.

History

Jenkin Street was originally named By-the-Sea Road. It was renamed in 1909/10 for Reverend J G Jenkin of the South Fremantle Methodist Church. In 1892, Lot 78 (later 32 Jenkin Street) was vacant land owned by E H Fothergill. The lot remained vacant until 1929/30, when it was purchased by Frank Manford & Co. Manford was involved in the carrier business and was also a Customs and Forwarding Agents for shipping. Manford has bought the adjacent Lot 79 in 1920/21, where he had stables. Stables were recorded on Lot 78 in 1947/48, the first time that any development is recorded on this lot. The stables remained on Lot 79, suggesting that Manford’s business expanded during this time. In 1950/51, Lots 78 and 79 were listed together as stables owned by Frank Manford & Co Ltd. A diagram dated 1954 shows the lot as being bitumenised.
