    Wikipedia has an article about East Street, Fremantle.

    You may wish to contribute to that article in preference to this one, so that your contributions may be of use to the greatest number of people.

    Of course, anything that is not suitable for Wikipedia can be added here on Freopedia instead (within reason).

    East Street is the boundary between the City of Fremantle and East Fremantle, running from the river (Beach Street/Riverside Road) and the High Street, on the other side of which it becomes Swanbourne Street.

    Significant buildings in East Street

    [[../buildings/wanaka.html|Wanaka]] used to stand near the corner with Riverside Road. Following that were the Captain Fremantle Motor Lodge (with its Sunny's Shining on the Swan restaurant). There is now a condo there.

    The Church of Christ Scientist is on the SW corner of East Street with the Canning Highway.

    The [[../schools/plympton.html|East Fremantle Primary School]] is on the corner of East and [[../people/marmion.html|Marmion]] Streets (in Fremantle).

    On the other side of East Street (opposite the primary school) is John Curtin High School (which now has the grandiose appellation: College of the Arts).

    The cutting, with tram tracks being laid, between Marmion and High Streets. (Thanks to Peter Vinci for making the c. 1905 photo available.)
