Read moreI love old buildings because of the history they tell of another time. Fremantle Woolstores Shopping Centre caught my eyes when we visited Fremantle yesterday and parked at Wilson Parking just across the road. Fremantle Woolstores were at least 4 large heritage buildings built in 1923, and reborn few years ago as apartment. I love the original exposed brickwork and warehouse-style framed windows. Woolstores shopping center is right across the road from the Fremantle Railway Station. The centre includes a Coles Supermarket and Liquorland plus specialty stores and Ocean's...
