The Fremantle Society

The society has led campaigns to prevent the loss of many significant buildings in Fremantle; not all have been successful. Some examples include: • The Oriana Cinema, an art deco building on the corner of High and Queen Streets (demolished in 1972) • Fremantle Markets • The proposed widening of High Street and demolition of all buildings along the south side of the road • Fremantle Prison • Victoria Quay development Other projects have also been undertaken, such as the 1978–1980 photographic survey of almost every building in Fremantle, and the Freopedia wikitown project. The group received assistance in the 1970s in the form of green bans organised by the Builders Labourers Federation. == References ==
