Medina in the 50's: Through the Eyes of Children compiled by John Crouch and Stephen Bartlett

Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition.

The stories and memories of 85 of Medina’s pioneering families.

Medina was the first suburb of Kwinana and was carefully planned by renowned State Planner Margaret Fielman. It was initially built to house employees who migrated to Kwinana to work at the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, now known as BP Kwinana.

At the time, there was only one general store and a post office on Peake Way, with the Pace Road shops opening in 1954.

For many of the book’s contributors, a common thread that ran through the community was the Medina Primary School, also built in 1954 and still standing today. (Sound Telegraph 11 March 2020)
