Smith St Collingwood landscape 52/10/1 #fp13
This photo has been submitted by the Collingwood Historical Society as part of the Flickr Friday Photos Challenge under the theme of "Landscape".
This photo is iconic Collingwood. Former Foy & Gibson buildings are seen in the distance over a developer's hole and the whole is brought together with a wall covered with graffiti and event advertising. And there is even a parking meter!

The former Forester's Hall in Smith Street Collingwood on the northern corner of Langridge was opened in 1868, as the home of the first Victorian branch of the Ancient Order of Foresters. The building with its large space was used for all sorts of local events including court sessions, bazaars and public meetings. The laying of the memorial stone was recorded in the Argus on Wednesday 25 March 1868. You can read the account here.
