  • Old Post Office (built 1889)
  • Lions Club park
  • Medical Centre (built 1991)
  • Millington's Funerals

Post Office in 1901 - I am not convinced about this date as I think that is the Drill Hall around the corner, which dates this photo to after 1915. (Photo courtesy of National Archives of Australia)
Corner of High & Stephen Street outside the old Post Office in 1918, Arthur Square is in background with War Loan Tank and Crew
Snow covered streetscape showing the post office on the right in 1919 - the first fall of snow in the township for 30 years.
Another view of the Post Office - the Lee & Sons sign should date this photo to before 1918, but I need to research this as the telegraph poles now have four bars. This dates the photo to after 1919.
Old Post Office in 1939 - the picket fence has been replaced with a taller fence in front of the residence and there is now a telephone box on the right hand side of the building. (Photo courtesy of the Mercury)
New Norfolk Post Office staff - Dave Barnes, the postmaster is on the right
Originally built as a medical centre in the 1991, the new building was empty and available for lease in 2009 (Photo courtesy of Google Maps)
  • Chain of Title - the history of the original land grant issued in 1847. The total land area was one rood and five perches. This covered the land between what is now 54 High Street all the way to the corner of Stephen Street.
