I lived in Boronia as a kid and I can still remember us taking the train to Ringwood every once in a while to shop, and we always had lunch at Coles Cafeteria. From memory, it was on Maroondah Highway, just near the intersection with Warrandyte Road. Coles, back then, sold a lot of clothing and not many groceries and the cafeteria was in the basement floor.
Thanks for these great Photos of some of Ringwood I can remember. Myers was so important then,Ringwood Bowl, The Station,The RSL and The Schools. When Ringwood was good.🛤🦘
Thanks for that i worked as a mechanic in 2 shell servos Crn railway Ave and Dublin Rd and next to Daisy's pub and the garden supplies back in 1980 cheers.
Yes I remember their actually Actor Michael Pate used to fill up the company Torana GTR XU1 their I saw him on a couple of occasions he played a detective in one of the cop shows filmed at Ringwood Police Station
Hi Lori. The Ringwood you have been looking at is a lot different now. So much of it alphas gone to the restless progress of the world 2023. I Prefer the older views. You guy must be amazed by the cars. Enjoy and keep warm in New Jersey. That's close to NY city? Regards.🇦🇺📺🎾
0:07 Original Coach and Horses hotel. Opposite the current one. Cnr whitehorse Rd/Maroondah Hwy and Madden St. Madden St is now built over by Eastlink. 0:58 Army depot Cnr Dublin Rd and Railway Ave Ringwood East. Still there. Check out those International ACCO cabover trucks. I remember these were a common sight. 1:06 Daisys Hotel cnr Whitehorse Rd and Mt Dandenong Rd. Ringwood Lake is behind. I've heard it has been recently sold and demolished. Carlton Untied Breweries display horse team and wagon. Red Mini Moke Californian - and Australian production of the Moke. 1:14 newly opened Ringwood public pool. Jubilee Park. Greenwood Ave and Reilly St. 1:30 VR track gang replacing sleepers on Ringwood Warrandyte Rd bridge. Truck in the photo has crossed Whitehorse Rd intersection. The Clock Tower was located in the middle of this intersection. Since moved to Wantirna Rd corner. 3 wheel hand operated railway inspection trolley on the bridge. The Craig Davis sign should be the corner of Pitt St. 1:39 Whitehorse Rd looking east to Ringwood Warrandyte Rd. The Clock Tower was moved from the middle of the intersection in the mid 1960's 1:47 Whitehorse Rd looking east at junction. Wantirna Rd to the right of the picture, and Ringwood St to the left behind the Post Office. The post office was an empty piece of land for many years when I grew up near Ringwood. The large grey building with the portico out front was the Ringwood Town Hall. The street next to it was Melbourne St. Long gone now and built over. The town hall and post office must have been demolished at a similar time. Middle right of the picture shows the driver's side of an Australian-built 1960 Chevrolet. 3:02 Whitehorse Rd looking east towards Wantirna Rd/Ringwood St junction. Holden HD wagon in the middle of photo. Our family car at the time. To the left is the 1956 Olympic Shopping center strip of shops. I remember it had the U.S. spelling on the sign. 3:11 northeast view of New St Whitehorse Rd junction. I remember this timber yard. Nearly got struck by a car coming out the driveway. It is now the car park for Target Square. Is Target Square still there? 3:20 Ringwood Warrandyte Rd. Looking west at the first Eastland shopping centre under construction. The old weatherboard house might the house that remained in the Eastland car park into the 1990's. The owner must have refused to sell the owners of Eastland. 3:45 Clock tower in its current location, cnr Wantirna Rd and Whitehorse Rd. Photo must be around Christmas mid 1970's. 4:42 looking north at the first Eastland under construction. The diamond shaped facades are at the front half of Eastland with the smaller shops, and Myer was behind. 4:52 Vic Rail E class 2-4-2 tank loco. Run through the buffer stop on the siding towards the city just before the Wantirna Rd overbridge. To the left and beyond the photo would be where the clock tower is now located. 5:00 looking east from Ringwood St at the first Eastland nearing completion. The arched section of the centre housed Myer department store. 5:07 The E class again. Station St towards Bedford Rd would be on the right of the bridge - just after the fence. I don't think VR had their big 60 ton steam cranes at the time. It would have been quite an exercise - recovering the loco. 5:17 looking north east at Eastland. The kerbed strip of dirt in the middle would become the covered walkway, of which there were 2 in the top car park of Eastland. 5:27 the Croydon rail yard empty cars smash' 6:23 Newly completed Ringwood library on Ringwood Warranadyte Rd, opposite Eastland. Creek in the background now built over by Ringwood Bypass. 6:33 Looking south west, from about the creek in the previous photo. The library would be to the left. Those houses, except for one, were demolished to make way for expanding the Eastland car park. 6:39 the library under construction. 6:49 looking south east towards the Clock Tower in it's original location. The farm where the photographer was standing is now Eastland. 7:38 Iceland ice skating rink. South side of Whitehorse Rd - near the former Madden St. Went there many times. Long gone now, and Eastlink built over it. 7:55 L class electric loco. Looks like it ran through the same siding's buffer stop as the E class at 4:52 - at Wantirna Rd 8:04 looking north, about late 1970's, going by the LH Torana being the latest model there. Some rare ones there too: Mazda 1800 station wagon, Honda 600. is that a Lotus Cortina next to the Honda? 8:37 I remember going to this, but was signed as Ringwood Lanes. North side of Whitehorse Rd - just east of New St, and the Timber yard at 3:11. 8:54 This could be cutting the railway runs through - west of Wantirna Rd bridge. So the left of the photo is towards the city. 9:26 taken from the footbridge at Ringwood station. Looking towards the city. At the top left of the picture would be Wantirna Rd, and the infamous 'crash through' siding. 10:09 3 wheel railway pump trike. Should be like the one in the photo at 1:30. 10:17 Should be the shopping strip on the south side of Whitehorse Rd, between Olive Grove and Wantirna Rd. The Vauxhall PA Cresta was sold for a time here - until GM realised it was duplicating the Holden. 10:25 bottom half of in black and white would be Mount Dandenong and Whitehorse Rd junction. Not sure about the top half in colour. It does not line up with the black and white image. 10:43 North west look at Eastland. Early 1970's going by the XA Falcon wagon and the TC Cortina. On the left looks like 2 Austins and a Wolseley: A50 Cambridge, 1500 and Mini. 11:16 this view is looking west from the top car park - near Ringwood Warrandyte Rd and Whitehorse Rd. The group of shops looking towards were on Whitehorse Rd and separated by Melbourne St. Behind where the photographer was standing, and out of picture was a free standing Safeway up to the 1990's. Did the reversing Holden wagon and Transit end up colliding? This photo could be valuable evidence. 11:31 looking west and photo taken from the car park on the roof of the Safeway mentioned at 11:16. 11:56 Cnr Ringwood Warrandyte Rd and Dickson Cres, North Ringwood shopping strip. The then State Bank of Victoria Hamburger logo. 12:13 Whitehorse Rd looking west. Wantirna Rd should be off the left of the photo. Vauxhall Wyverns behind and in front of the FB Holden? Standard Vanguard under the National Bank sign over the road? Where the Standard is parked was a service station on the corner of Wantirna Rd. Opposite the clock tower. 12:31 Those grocery prices make you want to cry. That 14c pack of Colvan chips is now $5 Smiths. 12:57 Melbourne St, off Whitehorse Rd. The Dickins supermarket survived into the 1990's. 14:02 Whitehorse Rd looking west. The side street in the left should be Madden St. The main intersection at the top is Heatherdale Rd. 1990's? photo before Eastlink. 14:18 Madden St off Whitehorse Rd looking south. 1980s or 1990s? The iron girder deck of the bridge has been replaced by a concrete deck. To the left was the first Coach and Horses Hotel in the very first photo. Driveway to the right is to the Heatherdale railway station overflow car park. My first car: a brown Holden HQ wagon was stolen from there! 14.28 looking south just after the railway bridge is Madden St and Molan St. Madden St no longer exists - replaced by Eastlink cutting. Molan St is a bit notable. The only minor side street I know of that was bridged over Eastlink. All other minor streets were cut. 14:44 somewhere on Whitehorse Rd. That Pontiac stands out. The AP5 Valiant dates this photo at least 1965. 15:09 Looking north car park of Cadburys, formerly MacRobertson chocolate factory: Canterbury Rd between Heatherdale and Wantirna Roads. 15:25 Looking west Pitt St and Ringwood Warrandyte Rd. Railway bridge to the right off the photo. That former grocer shop is still there as a bottle shop. 16:08 Gemini is parked on Railway Ave, Ringwood East. Eastfield Rd bridge over the railway is being replaced as the single track line was being duplicated. I remember this as Eastfield Road was closed for some time during the bridge replacement, and I had to find another way around. 16:16 Looking south Heathmont shopping strip? Canterbury Rd. The side road next to the large angled roof building would be Allens Rd. Check out the Jaguar Mark X. 16:34 Fairly certain this is Heatherdale Rd railway crossing. Looking south from Whitehorse Rd. The row of pine trees on the left near the railway survived up to the early 1980's. Gates look far apart enough for double track railway. Lilydale and Belgrave lines east of Ringwood were single track at the time. And the grade of the road. 17:23 Footbridge over Ringwood railway station looking north west at Town Hall. Melbourne St next to the Town Hall - demolished 1971. CBC bank on the corner of access road to Ringwood Station. 17:32 Ringwood Station foot bridge looking south towards Station St. 18:28 Ringwood Police Station. Still located in Ringwood St opposite Eastland, in a newer building a bit further along the street. 18:53 Ringwood railway station main building. Another building of a similar design is at Yea, on the long closed Tallarook to Alexandra and Mansfield railway line. 19.08 Looking south west at the then Target Square. Seymour St to the left, where Allens Music is. Market St behind photographer, and Charter St to the right and off the photo. 19:16 Whitehorse Rd looking east towards Wantirna Rd, Ringwood St intersection. The XD Falcon, Datsun 200B and the Sigma dates this at least 1979. Next to the Ringwood Camping Centre is the Olympic Shopping Center - above the Sigma. 19:32 the second Ringwood Market about to be demolished for Costco. The first Market was on the corner of Ringwood St and Seymour St, opposite Eastland.
@@theblip @7.38. Where "iceland was, where my sister fell, on the ice, hand down, all nals cut off by a better Iceskater.Then, ~ mis-80's was a gym for Aerobics. I used to go, ~ 3X a week. All gone now, with Eastlink.
What a brilliant piece of work. I've lived in and around Ringwood all my life and have great memories of a significant few of these stills. Thanks and well done!
I grew up in Ringwood we lived at 84 Ringwood St I went to Ringwood east primary school then Ringwood Tech. I later owned Two businesses in Eastland for a period of time . I can remember when Eastland was built where the oval was and the Tennis courts and went to church cnrRingwood st. My father spent a great deal of time holding up the bar at The Coach and Horses hotel and Daisys hotel my brother and I would catch Carp in Ringwood lake .
My mum worked for Cadbury's for 7 year's in the sixties. I went to Southwood state school next door and on certain days, the smell of chocolate would waft across the playground. My brother also worked at Cadbury's for a while after leaving school.
Have vague memories of Ringwood in the late 1960's to early 1970's as a lad, my uncle Tom (Melville) used to live there. He has probably passed on now. Great video collection of the area, remember riding the Tait red trains as a boy too, thank you, some memories jogged. Thank you, much enjoyed it.
Used to visit extended family in Ringwood, Remember Eastland through 3 major transformations, the vibrant days of Ringwood Market and many other Icons of Ringwood etc.
Thank you, but I would like to make a suggestion but hopefully it's helpful, for every photograph that you have presented In your video, are you able to provide a lot more contextual information such as dates, locations and any other information for each photograph that you have presented?
I agree with the comment regarding ‘dates locations and any other information.’ The discovery of the history of any of the buildings is easily searched online in Trove where you have digitalised newspapers for all the states of Australia. The earliest for N.S.W. Being 1803. The Victorian State Library on line has, the Sands and McDougall Directories for 1860 through to 1974. They can, I am fairly certain, be searched for householders, businesses, churches etc. A starting point may well be local history books, but check everything in these publications against Trove newspapers and the Sands McDougall Directory for they are the contemporary source of the time. We tell you this because we, The St. Peters History Group, are the presenters of Sydney Suburban History on TH-cam. I is substantially the work at most two people, admittedly both retired. We have thirty six videos on TH-cam, and average one per month, with a total viewing so far of just short of thirty thousand. You really have some glorious photographs on your video, we I hope don’t sound too critical. We simply hope to encourage you in your endeavours to go the extra yard. We use one U.S.B. Microphone, and edit on a mac using imovie, GarageBand and Keynote. You have hit the right note, nostalgia is the thing, but we do have comments from people who delight in their suburb from recognising a former cinema is now a shop, a grand old house is now a nursing home, a one time factory is now a block of units etc. We wish you well with your endeavours, hoping that you found our comments interesting and worth thinking about. Kind regards.
AKA as Maroondah Hwy. To this day I still don't know where Maroondah Hwy officially becomes Whitehorse Rd. I thought it was either Mitcham Rd or Heatherdale Rd intersection. My 1962 Morgans street directory has the name change at the Mount Dandenong Rd intersection to the east of Ringwood.. Where the Shell servo is.
Prior to the dry area in the 1920s a pub called the White Horse Inn stood on the corner of White Horse and Elgar Roads in Box Hill which remained standing until 1933. The horse in the town hall stood above the entrance to the pub on the corner with a copy in the road median. Similarly Camberwell was named after a pub on the junction that also closed with the dry area.
@@railtrolley And, from Kew Junction, to Burke Rd, Camberwell, the road is called Cotham Rd. Once it crosses Burke Rd, Camberwell, to go down into 'the dene' at Deepdene, it is called Whitehorse Rd; and really it has ALWAYS been called Whitehorse Rd, till really it goes up into the Hills (Dandenongs). No-one has ever really called it Maroondah Hwy, except Govt.
Love the history. But IF you could relate some of the pictures from Past to Present it would be more interesting to watch. Posting random pictures tells us nothing if you can't relate it to something you have seen. We don't all live in Ringwood ??
Very well done!!

16:34 is Hetherdale road , my dad’s depot was half way down on the left can still remember seeing it like that in the late 60s
18:03 looks like the newsagency across the road from Ringwood East Station. It's no longer around but I think Fruitland next door still is.

Glad you enjoyed it
I grew up in Ringwood we lived at 84 Ringwood St I went to Ringwood east primary school then Ringwood Tech. I later owned Two businesses in Eastland for a period of time . I can remember when Eastland was built where the oval was and the Tennis courts and went to church cnrRingwood st. My father spent a great deal of time holding up the bar at The Coach and Horses hotel and Daisys hotel my brother and I would catch Carp in Ringwood lake .
Hi Gary, I grew up in Heathmont, but Ringwood was what I remember most. Way before Eastland was built. I also attended Ringwood tech from 1969 to '71.
Hi it's Gail again. You used to live practically where the old Ringwood baths was. I can faintly remember swimming there. (Early 60's)
A great collection of pictorial photographs. Well put together. My Father worked for Cadbury's Chocolates in Ringwood, during the 70's.
Very cool!
My mum worked for Cadbury's for 7 year's in the sixties. I went to Southwood state school next door and on certain days, the smell of chocolate would waft across the playground. My brother also worked at Cadbury's for a while after leaving school.
great video, what memories! Hav’nt been back for years. love the Joplin rags! Riverina, NSW.
The best!
Have vague memories of Ringwood in the late 1960's to early 1970's as a lad, my uncle Tom (Melville) used to live there. He has probably passed on now. Great video collection of the area, remember riding the Tait red trains as a boy too, thank you, some memories jogged. Thank you, much enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing!
Used to visit extended family in Ringwood, Remember Eastland through 3 major transformations, the vibrant days of Ringwood Market and many other Icons of Ringwood etc.
I used to live in Ringwood...I hate what they did to Eastlands and I see Daisy's pub has gone
I remember the old red rattlers
Awesome stuff.
Thanks!
Ringwood East Primary School, ah the memories

Can take the man out of Ringwood but can't take the Ringwood out of the man

Excellent, but it is a pity one is not able to provide context to each photograph.
Thank you, but I would like to make a suggestion but hopefully it's helpful, for every photograph that you have presented In your video, are you able to provide a lot more contextual information such as dates, locations and any other information for each photograph that you have presented?

You really have some glorious photographs on your video, we I hope don’t sound too critical. We simply hope to encourage you in your endeavours to go the extra yard. We use one U.S.B. Microphone, and edit on a mac using imovie, GarageBand and Keynote. You have hit the right note, nostalgia is the thing, but we do have comments from people who delight in their suburb from recognising a former cinema is now a shop, a grand old house is now a nursing home, a one time factory is now a block of units etc. We wish you well with your endeavours, hoping that you found our comments interesting and worth thinking about. Kind regards.
The house at 5:58 any information on it? It looks familiar to me.
No Sorry.
At 4.35 Bedford Rd is Written on the photo above Bayswater Road Ringwood, any clarifications here?
Oops! Wrong Ringwood... Bye!
Great video but the music is so annoying.
You really have to add captions to show where these photographs are in relation to today.
l assume this isn't the Ringwood in England!!??
Ringwood, Victoria Australia.
I said that
Thank you. Shame the old train station has gone instead of that ugly looking thing

Anyone ever or still wondered why it was called White Horse Road?? Lol
Because there was a white cow on the corner. LOL
AKA as Maroondah Hwy. To this day I still don't know where Maroondah Hwy officially becomes Whitehorse Rd. I thought it was either Mitcham Rd or Heatherdale Rd intersection. My 1962 Morgans street directory has the name change at the Mount Dandenong Rd intersection to the east of Ringwood.. Where the Shell servo is.
Named after a pub that had a statue of a white horse
Prior to the dry area in the 1920s a pub called the White Horse Inn stood on the corner of White Horse and Elgar Roads in Box Hill which remained standing until 1933. The horse in the town hall stood above the entrance to the pub on the corner with a copy in the road median. Similarly Camberwell was named after a pub on the junction that also closed with the dry area.
@@railtrolley And, from Kew Junction, to Burke Rd, Camberwell, the road is called Cotham Rd. Once it crosses Burke Rd, Camberwell, to go down into 'the dene' at Deepdene, it is called Whitehorse Rd; and really it has ALWAYS been called Whitehorse Rd, till really it goes up into the Hills (Dandenongs).
No-one has ever really called it Maroondah Hwy, except Govt.
Love the history.
But IF you could relate some of the pictures from Past to Present it would be more interesting to watch.
Posting random pictures tells us nothing if you can't relate it to something you have seen.
We don't all live in Ringwood ??
Not Ringwood Hampshire England then
No, its Victoria Australia
