Street Corner Heritage Gallery
The Street Corner Heritage Galleries scheme is a collaborative effort between NHB and local shop owners with at least 30 years of history in selected precincts to co-create "mini-museums" that showcase the history and heritage of their respective businesses and trades. Located on site, these galleries display historical documents, photographs, and artefacts that tell the stories of these shops.
