Social History
1925 The Age.
The Anzac Heroes.
MACBETH.—In sad and loving memory of my dear only son and our dear only brother. Private Alex. Macbeth, killed in action at Lone Pine 29th November, 1915; also Elizabeth, dearly loved mother of above, who passed away on the 8th January, 1921. Loved and remembered always.
Thoughts return to scenes gone past,
Years roll on, but memory last;
His memory still so sweet and dear;
We treasure still with love sincere.
He had a nature you could not help loving,
A heart that was purer than gold;
To those who loved him and knew him
His memory will never grow cold.
Fond were the ties that are broken,
Dear are the ones that have gone;
In memory we will always keep them
As long as the years roll on.
— Inserted by their loving ones at 77 Chetwynd-street, North Melbourne.
MACBETH.—In loving memory of my dear husband, Private Alexander Macbeth, killed in action Lone Pine 29th November, 1915; also G. W. Roberts, killed the same day.
Loved in life, treasured in death;
A beautiful memory is all we have left.
— Inserted by his loving wife, S. Macbeth, and children Bessie and Alma.

| Streetscape |
|---|
|
Chetwynd Street was once predominantly a residential street with single and two storey Victorian terrace dwellings, two churches, a school and two hotels known as the Queens Arms and the Star of Hotham. The Chetwynd streetscape today is characterised by a mix of multi-storey blocks of public flats, some modern commercial/industrial buildings, an ambulance depot, and a school. In 2021, only fifty of the original one hundred and twenty-nine Victorian heritage dwellings once found on this street remain, compared to the 1895 Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works map. |
