Scott Street

This little group of 1870s houses with corner shop was supposed to be demolished for a factory back in the 1950s. They were then bought by the City Council, which also had grand plans for the precinct in the 1970s, but squatters moved in, politics took hold and eventually the buildings were saved. Artists have painted them over the years.
