Continuing the Paddington Society's immensely popular “Conversations” series of events, this talk by Dr Helen Armstrong AM will explore the changing Paddington landscape, drawing on and updating her chapter from the book “Paddington: A history”.

Helen contributed a chapter to the book titled “Changing Landscapes” which includes the changes for First Nations people who lived in the area before the 1788 colonisation and subsequent changes made by the settlers during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Reading the layers of landscapes over time is intriguing, whether it is the millennia-long geological layers or the recent high-rise built layers. Despite extensive redevelopments, subtle clues about former landscapes have persisted in Paddington.

This talk will explore these clues and suggest ways to sustain Paddington’s intriguing landscape character.
