Drawing on listings from the Tasmanian Heritage Register, augmented by entries from the National Trust Register, this meticulously researched volume presents a rich visual and historical record of the buildings that have shaped the character of one of Australia's most heritage-rich communities. Each entry is accompanied by detailed sketches, with calligraphy by Jan Richardson lending the work an artisan elegance that mirrors the craftsmanship of the structures it celebrates.\n\nBadcock, a local historian with an intimate knowledge of the Latrobe region — also the author of works such as And Old Moriarty Grew and Samsfra — chronicles the built environment with both scholarly rigour and genuine affection for her subject. The result is a work that transcends mere architectural documentation, weaving social history, community identity, and cultural memory into every page. For anyone passionate about Tasmanian heritage, local history, or the preservation of colonial-era architecture, this volume poses an irresistible question: what stories are still locked within the walls of these enduring structures?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609675567323,"sku":"2026200018600-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b30896ce-4e8b-4954-8e0b-0d799e7e0fbf.png?v=1791764531","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018600-secondhand-latrobes-heritage","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
