Padbury Buildings is the name for a range of existing and former structures found in various localities in
Western Australia.
The Padbury family, mainly
Walter Padbury, had a range of buildings, some of which now are heritage listed.
In the eastern suburbs of
Perth were a number of businesses and buildings in
Bassendean,
Guildford and
Midland;[a] the company that ran the stores – Padbury Stores – Ltd went into liquidation due to the costs of the Forrest Place building.[2]
In
East Guildford, Padbury Buildings were on Terrace Road, just east of the Rose and Crown Hotel.[5] By 1949 the Guildford Padbury building was owned by C & C.[6]
Stores
The names of buildings and business did not necessarily have Padbury as the part of the name. The Guildford store is referred to in 1903 and 1908 as the Colonial Stores.[7][8]
On the
Midland railway line east of Guildford and located in East Guildford, a siding had been in place for William Padbury's Peerless Flour Mill.[12][b]
Notes
^At the time Midland was known as Midland Junction.[1]
^Article about
Walter Padbury suggests it was Walter, not William.
