A Walk Down James Street, Horseshoe Bend with Michael Belche
About
Join historian Michael Belcher for a celebratory walk through James Street and Horseshoe Bend – from its time as the rainforest domain of the Wonnarua people, through early European presence, to the vibrant residential growth of the late 19th century.The walk begins near the Council Administration Building, tracing the history of High Street’s early businesses and architecture, before turning to the River – its changing course, its baths, rowing clubs, and sporting fields – and finally to Odd and James Streets, where we meet the homes, people, and stories that defined West Maitland’s first residential area.
Blending history, architecture, and personal anecdotes, this walk offers an evocative glimpse into a changing way of life in one of Maitland’s most fascinating districts.
After the walk, enjoy afternoon tea at Studio Amsterdam, 321 High Street, Maitland (entry from High Street).
GF, vegetarian, and dairy-free options available.
