National Trust / Grossmann House - walking Bourke Street, Maitland

Sunday, August 23 at 2.00, Wayne Campbell will take us through the streets of a section of Central Maitland.
 
The Bourke Street area presents a unique look at the early settled history of Maitland, with the streetscape still capturing elements of the 1850 subdivision of a part of the land of Molly Hunt / Morgan. Humble timber cottages, terraces, substantial brick dwellings, schools, a private hospital, and accommodation for early Maitland clergy, all side by side and bound by a network of narrow streets and laneways.
 
$25.00 / $20.00 National Trust members, price includes the usual sumptuous afternoon tea at Brough House.
 
Bookings essential. Ph: Holly 49344314.
