The mapping on Jull Street is getting under way with all the buildings photographed and blocked onto the painting.

Some of the Jull Street Photographs

Began work on the mapping room today, the walls are covered with photographs  of Jull Street from the photographic survey done in the research phase of the project.  Every building in Jull Street has been recorded as well as streetscapes and intersections.

Today I went to Memorial Park, (will post the painting for that tomorrow). I met a really nice couple who were checking out the new development next to the park. They had plenty to say about Armadale having lived here for forty years. We have arranged to meet again for another chat.

Back at the studio I started work on a large wall painting of Jull Street.

When Armadale railway station opened in 1893, the coach traffic along the Albany Road dropped quite considerably. This affected the number of customers using the Narrogin Inn. It is believed that Thomas Saw cut the track from the railway station to the Narrogin Inn in order to bring back customers. As this was the main track in Armadale it was generally referred to as Main Street, but in 1908 (a hundred years ago) it was officially named Jull Street.
