Explore Brighton in the 1920s – a prosperous bayside municipality at the height of its growth, with Port Phillip Bay defining the western boundary and Henry Dendy’s distinctive crescent street layout still visible at the suburb’s heart. This municipality map shows the full street grid from North Road to Sandringham, the foreshore, and the rail lines connecting Brighton Beach and Middle Brighton to the city. Available framed and unframed. Printed on archival 310gsm cotton paper using museum-grade pigment inks.
A3 – 420mm x 297mm | A2 – 594mm x 420mm | A1 – 841mm x 594mm
The sizes are the final trimmed size and include a minimum 10mm border.
This vintage Brighton map captures the municipality as the population surging past 33,000, the foreshore established and prized, and Bay Street already one of Melbourne’s most prosperous shopping strips. Brighton had grown from Henry Dendy’s 1841 Special Survey into a suburb that deliberately kept itself exclusive, with large blocks, few flats, and a council determined to protect the character of Melbourne’s most sought-after bayside address.
The crescent street pattern at Brighton’s core – Dendy’s original 1841 town plan – is clearly visible on this map alongside the full street grid stretching east to Nepean Highway. The railway lines threading through Middle Brighton and Brighton Beach stations, the Port Phillip Bay foreshore, and the municipal boundary with Sandringham are all mapped in detail. Printed on archival 310gsm cotton paper and available framed in handcrafted Victorian Ash, each piece is restored from the original municipality survey.
This vintage Brighton map is the one for locals who grew up on these streets, for anyone tracing a Bay Street address back through the decades, or for a housewarming gift that connects a new Brighton home to the suburb’s long history of people who knew they’d found somewhere worth staying.
