TOMLINS STREET PRECINCT - Physical Description 2
Revised description (Context 2015):
The Tomlins Street Precinct is bounded by McCrae, Nolan and the railway line, together with an area north of Nolan Street taking in Cawardine and Wilkie Streets. There are a number of new developments in Wortha Street that do not contribute to the area. The area is defined by the railway line that branches to Inglewood (now disused) and to Echuca, together with spur lines to the former Sandhurst cattle market and to Heathcote. The railway lines slice through the middle of the area at Nolan Street. The area has industrial development bordering it to the immediate south east with large sheds accommodating railway workshop activities, Tomlins, Simmie & Co. Flour Mill, (later Tomlins Flour Mill), along with other industries. Earlier residences at 8-14 Wilkie Street are excellent examples of Edwardian architecture.
The houses in Tomlins, Wilkie and Cawardine Streets are a mixture of Edwardian, Inter-war and Post-war buildings, with the dominant view along Tomlins Street being that of the Flour Mill. On Napier Street, contributory houses are Edwardian in character with an incomplete avenue of elms on both sides of the street. Immediately to the north of Napier Street (the extension of McCrae Street) was a large area of recreation reserve bisected by Back Creek and now accommodating the Bendigo Tennis Centre. The precinct is characterised by residential development that peaked between 1920 and 1938 corresponding with the development of industries. Many of the remaining residential buildings are associated with this time.
It is proposed to add to this precinct a row of houses between Bayne Street and Nolan Street on the west side of Napier Street, as they are stylistically similar to those elsewhere and form a natural extension of this area up to the boundary with Nolan Street and Lake Weeroona.
