West End & High Street
Fremantle West End
The old district with the greatest concentration of Victorian port architecture. High Street links the town hall to the Round House and is lined with antique shops and galleries.
West End is a heritage district on the west side of Fremantle's old town. Trading houses, hotels and banks built during the gold rush of the 1890s are densely packed along High Street, Cliff Street and Phillimore Street. The whole district is listed on the Western Australian heritage register and is considered one of the best-preserved Victorian port streetscapes in the world. High Street runs west from King's Square and the town hall, ending at the Round House. Along the way you will find antique shops, independent bookstores, galleries and old pubs. Some buildings are used by the University of Notre Dame Australia. Allow half a day to walk the length of High Street to the Round House.
