Faces Behind the Facades, Main Street Lithgow is an ongoing project of the Lithgow & District Family History Society Inc relating to the history of individuals who operated businesses in Main Street Lithgow for a number of years.
Many interesting and informative stories have revealed themselves that help inform us of the people who shaped Main Street and, by their participation in community organisations and both local and state government, the history of our region.
Large scale window vinyls will be on display in relevant business windows in Main Street Lithgow as shown on the map above and will include narratives capturing the stories of individuals, historic portraits and images of the original building facades.
YVONNE JENKINS MEMORIAL AWARD
It is with great regret that we advise that this year's essay competition and presentation has been cancelled due to current restrictions on social distancing and holding of meetings.
Don't let this stop you from writing short stories about a member of your family. Our journal editor is always willing to accept stories for our journal.
Maybe choose a photo and tell the story. Who, what, where and why - the basis of a good composition when we were at school. A good place to start.
