Mayblooms and Cherrybobs Oral History Project: Memories of the Glenferrie Junction

Memories of the Glenferrie Junction The junction at Glenferrie and Burwood Road has historically remained a bustling thoroughfare, with bicycle stores lining the shopping strip and horse-drawn vehicles populating the roads delivering the necessary goods and services to families at home. Listen to the residents' stories as they reflect on growing up around the junction and hear how they playfully interacted with the Hawthorn Town Hall.
