Photocopies of the Collingwood entries of the Melbourne directories for the following years: 1858, 1860, 1862, 1870, 1873-1894 (annual; 1876 missing), 1897, 1902, 1904, 1906, 1907, 1910, 1912, 1919. Arrangement is by street address within the three suburbs which comprise the municipality. Occupiers (`heads' of household) rather than owners are listed, and occupation shown. Sometimes this is at variance with the rate records, in which case the latter records should generally be taken as being more accurate. The alphabetical list of occupiers which covers all of suburban Melbourne has not been reproduced here. If the address of the person of interest is not known, the full microfiche copies of these directories should therefore be consulted. A set is held in the Richmond local history collection.
Over two years, writer Nick Gadd and his wife Lynne circled the city of Melbourne on foot, starting at Williamstown and ending in Port Melbourne. Along the way they uncovered lost buildings, secret places and mysterious signs that told of forgotten stories and curious characters from the past. Soon after they completed the circle, Lynne passed away from cancer. Melbourne Circle is the story of their journey, a memoir, and a stunning meditation on personal loss. ‘What a gem this book is! Oddity, wonderment, weirdness: these splendid essays reveal a marvellous Melbourne most of us have never encountered before. This is a psychogeography dense with vernacular history, humane detail, and from beneath the shadow of grief, love.’ –­ Gail Jones, author of Five Bells and The Death of Noah Glass ‘‘‘Psychojogging”’ and the pleasures of walking.’ – interview with Hilary Harper on Radio National, Life Matters ‘Marvellous Melbourne: the books that capture our city and its life.’ – The Age/Sydney Morning Herald ‘Melbourne Circle: Walking, Memory and Loss is a very special book. Just read it, and then take to the streets and walk with the same spirit of enquiry.’ – Sophie Cunningham, The Age ‘A beautiful meditation on the streets in which we live, ghosts, love and loss … While there is sadness in this book, Gadd writes with warmth, humour and a generosity of spirit.’ – Stephen Romei, The Weekend Australian ‘An endearing book about enduring love and serendipitous discoveries; of remnants of the past pasted onto old buildings, and the way these ghost signs are portals into another time.’ – The Saturday Paper
