Night at the Museum - Shopping Trip Along Rokeby Road Part II
Discover the history of Rokeby Road through photographs and drawings of the shops and businesses that once lined the street.
Following our first trip down Rokeby Road exploring shops through to the 1980s, we rejoin the tour at the Pavilion Markets and make our way back up the road to Crossways. Take a look at the bustling commercial heart that defined Subiaco from the early grocers and drapers to the cafes, services and people who made the street come alive. Journey in time with historic photographs, nostalgic stories and a few surprise discoveries along the way.
