Explore Collingwood in the 1920s – one of Melbourne’s most densely settled inner suburbs, with 34,476 people packed into 1,129 acres of terraces, workshops, and corner pubs. This municipality map shows the full street grid from Victoria St to Johnston Street, the railway line running north-south through the suburb, and Victoria Park and the Collingwood Cricket Ground anchoring the eastern edge. 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 Collingwood map captures the municipality at the height of its industrial and residential density – the 1920s, when 34,476 people lived within 1,129 acres and every street from Johnston to Parade was lined with terraces, workshops, and small businesses. Published by Anderson, Gowan Pty Ltd as part of the Greater Melbourne Maps series, it is a formal survey document recording population, rateable value, and a scale of 8 inches to the mile – the kind of precision that reveals just how closely this suburb was watched and managed.
The street grid is intact and traceable today – all visible in their original configuration, with the railway line cutting north-south through the suburb as it still does. Victoria Park and the Collingwood Cricket Ground sit in the eastern section of the map, landmarks that remain central to the suburb’s identity a century on. The margins carry period advertisements – Plume Benzine, Brinds Gin and Whisky, Triumph and AJS Motorcycles, Boomerang Tyres – a commercial snapshot of inner Melbourne in the interwar years. Printed on archival 310gsm cotton paper and available framed in handcrafted Victorian Ash, each piece is restored from the original Anderson, Gowan municipality survey.
This vintage Collingwood map is for locals who know every one of those streets by name, for families tracing where grandparents rented a terrace on Abbott or Gold, or for anyone who wants the suburb on the wall in a form that shows how deliberately it was built.
