25.01.2022 Flashback Friday - Riverton Foodland! This photo is labelled as "Riverton's first shop", built in 1939 near the Riverton Bridge. It changed hands and names ove...r the years, and was demolished in 1971 to make way for the shopping centre in Riverton Drive. This photo is part of the City of Cannings Local History collection.

21.01.2022 ANZAC DAY | A trip down memory lane We dusted off our history books in the lead up to ANZAC Day 2020. Here are a few moments in time from Canning's ANZAC Day... service, captured through the lens over the years. Some of Canning's most historical moments such as these are a small way in which we can commemorate and remember those who have fallen and whom continue to serve our great nation. Also don't forget to RSVP to Driveway at Dawn - ANZAC Day 2020 And if you're looking to show your support in other ways, you can consider donating to the RSLWA or Legacy WA: www.rslwa.org.au/donate | portal.legacyonline.com.au/pages/donation.aspx #ANZACDay2020 #cityofcanning #CanningANZAC #RSL #LegacyWA #lestweforget #wewillrememberthem

The drapery was located on the corner of Albany Highway & Greenfield Street - Situated on the site where clark rubber is today. This photo is circa early 1950s. The building was demolished in the early 1980's. Mrs Headling ran the drapery and lived at the house at the rear.
