Social History
1906 North Melbourne Courier.
Presentation –On Saturday night last a number of the North Melbourne friends of ex-Detective Charles Thompson met at the Town Hall hotel, Errol-st., Mr. B. Ellis in the chair. The guest of the evening was presented by the chairman with a five diamond gold locket, suitably engraved, as a memento of the respect in which he was held locally. In making the presentation Mr. Ellis referred to the fact that Mr. Thompson was on the eve of taking his departure to Ireland, and after alluding to his many good qualities said he was sure they all wished him a pleasant voyage.
In consequence of the recent death of Miss Maggie O’Brien, sister of Mrs. Bergin, the gathering was not distinguished by the conviviality and publicity that otherwise would have marked it.
At the close of the presentation the company partook of a light supper thoughtfully provided by Mrs. Bergin.

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. |
