Talk @ SLQ: Beating heart: exploring Flinders St, Townsville
Beating heart: Exploring the role of the main street in the life of a regional Queensland city
Before ‘suburban sprawl’ threatened to choke its existence, Flinders Street was the focus of social, political and economic growth in Townsville for over a century.
Join Trish Fielding as she explores how people once lived, worked, shopped, socialised, celebrated and protested in Townsville’s main street, sharing the photographs and community memories that illustrate a story of struggle, strife and spirit.
Trish is currently studying a Masters in History with the University of New England. Her thesis will focus on maternal and infant welfare in early 20th century North Queensland. Trish works for CityLibraries Townsville and her first book Flinders Street, Townsville: A Pictorial History was awarded a High Commendation at the National Trust of Queensland Awards in 2010.
