Carmel Mullally's house
(Eileen) Carmel Mullally's weatherboard cottage at 28 Bayly Street North Fremantle was the last house to remain when the north shore of Fremantle Harbour was developed for containerised shipping. It was bought by Fremantle Ports in 2021 when her family at last offered to sell it to them. Fremantle Ports say the house will continue to exist, but not on its present site. Mrs Mullally died 11 February 2022, aged 89 (Forma & MacGill; FHS).
Ironically, the area on the other (north) side of Tydeman Road is now set for redevelopment as housing. See North Industrial Area.
