Hello Billy, You've done it again, I lived in Ashfield from November 1998 till August 1999. Just before finally moving to Darlinghurst in the city. I actually lived on Norton St and you went through the park I used to frequent quite often on a summer afternoon playing my music. That park with the seating in the centre was where I'd sit, its great to see it hasn't changed much in 25 years. Ashfield Mall looks exactly the same only cleaner now. Plus another suburb with new high rises. They've taken out a lot of car parks for them especially around the Ashfield Station. I too used to walk all around the area at the time. I lived about three quarters down Norton St, so I thought I was actually closer to Canterbury Station then Ashfield. Its a great suburb. Very busy though. Still thanks for the memories again. Cheers for Now.
@@craigbrown9029 Craig it seem as if you have either lived or worked in half of the places I walk hahaha - it’s always good to hear from first hand knowledge how areas have or haven’t changed over the years. That park is a cool little spot to chill - I can see why you went there . Lots of apartments going up around Ashfield and plenty more to come by the looks of it . Thanks again. Stay well🙂🙂
This walk is from the Neighbourhood of Ashfield to the neighbouring suburb of Summer Hill - both of which are in the Inner West of Sydney with Summer Hill being the closer of the two Towards the Sydney CBD. Ashfield is about 8 kms from the CBD . Ashfield is a very multi cultural neighbourhood with one of the larger groups being Shanghainese - Chinese . Before the arrival of the British the area was inhabited by the Wangal People of the Eora Nation. The first land grant of the area was made to Rev Richard Johnson In 1793 and all of it had been granted by 1810. I will include more on Summer Hill in a video coming up soon. I have other videos on both places if you want to check them out on my Inner West Play List .
