Yarraville in 1901 presents a series of meticulously researched walking tours that chronicle the streets, landmarks, and residents of this working-class Melbourne suburb, bringing to vivid life the factories, homes, and public spaces that defined an era of remarkable transformation. Dedicated to three significant local figures — James Palmer, Frances Maude Wood, and James Cuming Snr — the work honours those who shaped the suburb's unique character and identity.\n\nCarmel Taig writes with the precision of a local historian and the warmth of a passionate community advocate, weaving together archival research, personal histories, and geographic detail to construct an intimate portrait of a place on the cusp of a new nation. The result is an invaluable resource for history enthusiasts, genealogists, and anyone captivated by the human stories embedded in Melbourne's urban landscape. Who were the people who walked these streets over a century ago, and what traces of their world still linger today?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51022576648411,"sku":"2026100012573-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2f80efc4-0d27-4365-9922-746a5e19ac8d.png?v=1793665180","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012573-secondhand-yarraville-in-1901","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
