Wolfe on King.....
When I discovered that the theme for April was 'cobblestones' I thought, hang on a tick, cobblestones in Perth, come on, we're not even two hundred years old yet!! Thankfully after a wee bit of Googling, I found the 'forgotten laneway project' site which led me to Wolfe Lane off King Street, which apparently comes to life after dark by way of a mega trendy wine bar, who knew!!
More cobblestones on the corner of King and Murray Street and the The Belgian Beer Cafe, where they serve the best in traditional Belgian beer and food. While Perth's cobblestones may not be hundreds of years old..in 2212 they will be.....!! Interesting fact discovered by my sister-in-law Sue, cobblestones made from the Jarrah trees in our forests here in WA can be found in London and Berlin, nice work Perth! I've been having a few blogging problems with commenting, so I'm hoping all will be well today.. The CDP theme for April is cobblestones. Click here to view all participants of this theme day

ReplyDeleteLucky you. No cobblestones in Haninge as far as I know. This was a nice walk.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking place and terrific captures for the day, Grace! I'd love to stroll around there for a bit and enjoy a beer and some shopping!! The last shot is my favorite!! Hope your weekend is going well!

Very interesting Grace!
ReplyDeleteNice! Like the biere garden sign!
ReplyDeleteI could go for some Belgian beer and food. Looks like a great laneway!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful how you learn stuff about your city thanks to CDP?! That second shot is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI like that second photo, too, Grace, if only I could work out whether the person was male or female. Matters nowt as I am positive they are a shopaholic!
ReplyDeleteThe City of Perth site tells me that the granite cobbles were discovered beneath a layer of bitument. Fashion goes in cycles, yes?
Quite a detective work behind these fine images!
ReplyDeleteI also liked the statues above the entry of the wine shop
Looks like a fun area to explore. I like the last pic. Great place for a beer garden. I have to venture out later today and find some cobblestone. Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure, what an invitation. Can't remember when last I was out for a drink ... Please have a good new month and week ahead.
ReplyDeleteBonza photos. Its amazing what you find in your own back yard when you look around :-).
ReplyDeleteYou have fossicked out an interesting cobble-stoned street .... Very unique.
ReplyDeleteVery enterprising of you to find these...had to laugh at your statement about the age of your fair city! Nice shots...have a great day!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a place to be explored. Wonderful shots. Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLove love love your image of the shopper on the cobblestone alley - fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHee Hee. Looks like we like the same place Grace. Great shots!

Great choices for the theme day. I especially like the second one.
ReplyDeleteGlad you searched and found this place. My kind of place.
ReplyDeleteLove that mural for the beer garden - amazing what you find when you look.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you sure came up with a wonderful set of "cobblestone" images! And some interesting places to visit amongst the cobblestones! I forgot about the theme!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
excellent detective work.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a neat lane to walk.
ReplyDeleteGreat, perfect COBBLESTONE photos for today's CDP theme day, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI love, love the photo of the female shopper walking on the cobblestones - Awesome!!
Nice pavers. :) I also like the shopper you caught. Those are legs!
ReplyDeleteWe make more purchase when streets are paved

ReplyDeletethey are beautiful captures!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting place, Grace, great choice for this theme day.
ReplyDeleteNice discovery, I like the place...
ReplyDeleteHi Grace! Re your question on The Villages. As you may know, The Villages is a kind of Disneyland for adults, so these buildings were created to have an aged appearance but are actually just a few years old. I can't remember for sure, but I do believe this building is actually a mortgage company. Or a lawyer's office. I'll check the next time we go down there.
ReplyDeleteNice shots, Grace. I like the bier garten sign : )...B
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteGood for you finding Wolfe Lane. And isn't it just lovely. It surprises me to when I see all the cobbles there are around the world. I'd not have expected so many of them.
ReplyDeletesweet shots!
ReplyDeleteI adore your second shot. What a great image! Looks like a really classy and timeless place :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination of cobblestones and bricks. Lovely lane!
ReplyDeleteSearch and ye shall find! Good shots, Grace.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a find !
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle at the "Bière garden" sign as there's never been such a thing or even such a concept in France. Having your beer outdoors has never been other than at a terrace overlooking the street - no backyards here !
