Exhibition: Vincent Street: a living history (History Week exhibition)
Cessnock Library Foyer | business hours 1st-30th September

Cessnock locals walk down Vincent Street, our main shopping strip, regularly. But did you ever think that a street - itself – could have its own history? Vincent Street has seen drama, triumph, celebrations and tragedy acted out publicly on its footpaths. This exhibition explores these; it’s a love letter to one of our oldest streets.

In the opinion of this page, this ⬇️ remains the best suggestion to date on how to deal with this eyesore. Something being old doesn't prevent it from being a community embarrassment! Councillor Don Ferris
