Northcote Cable Tramways site
The Northcote Cable Tramways site is a former tram engine house and depot for the Melbourne cable tramway system, located at 626–628 High Street in Thornbury, in the City of Darebin, in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The site includes the former Northcote cable tram building which was built by the Clifton Hill to Northcote and Preston Tramway Company in 1890 to service the Clifton Hill to Northcote Line which ran along High Street, Northcote from Dundas Street at the northern extent of the Northcote Municipality to Merri Creek at the southern extent and operated until 1940. Built on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people, the site was added to the Victorian Heritage Register on 12 November 2009 in recognition of its historical, architectural, and archaeological significance; and was also added to a non-statutory list by the Victorian branch of the National Trust on 18 August 1993.
