Lambton is now on map
A born and raised local resident with a love of history and a penchant for research has created a heritage walking tour of Lambton in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A couple of years ago, Mrs Julie Keating of North Lambton was on a National Trust bus tour that visited a number of local historic villages and suburbs. “At most stops the local community or history group had produced some sort of brochure on the area, which was given to those on the tour”. Julie said.
Julie Keating has recently researched, created and published the Lambton Heritage Walk. She is pictured here at the starting point of the walk, the former Lambton Council Chambers, better known now as the Lambton Branch Library.
“When we stopped in Lambton however I was surprised to find that there was no such publication available. I knew then that I would not rest until Lambton had its own heritage walk and map.” she added. Using the resources of the Newcastle Family History Society, especially their book “The Story of Lambton - a suburb of Newcastle”, Newcastle City Council Library - Local studies section and the University of Newcastle’s Cultural Collections (continued page 2)
