Norfolk Street, Fremantle

Norfolk Street runs between Marine Terrace and South Terrace in Fremantle, Western Australia.

In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth, it was a street of ill health,[1] slum conditions[2] and criminality.[3][4]

In 1960 the Western Australian Wool Buyers & Exporters Association moved from their address in Perth to the Wool Exchange building at 5 Norfolk Street.[5]

In 1997 steps were taken to heritage list the buildings at 26-27 Norfolk Street.[6]
