New Norfolk History
New Norfolk Buildings
I'm Roz Chapman and this website is a passion of mine - documenting the history of the commercial buildings in the shopping precinct of New Norfolk. It has been a mammoth project with many hours, months, now years of research.
This project is incomplete. Think of this site as a living map of New Norfolk. Some areas are well-charted, while others are still being explored.
I am thankful for the assistance I have received from Ruth Binnie and the volunteers at the New Norfolk Historical Information Centre, as well Damian Bester from the New Norfolk and Derwent Valley News. Their enthusiasm for sharing their extensive local knowledge and photos has been a huge help and inspiration.
Also thank you to the many contributors to the various Facebook groups including New Norfolk Memories and New Norfolk Genealogy & Tasmania History.
If you have any information or photos to share, please send me a message, call me on 0403-858-210 or pop in and see me at 56 High Street.
