🏡 A look back at the homes of Blacktown's past!

From charming farmhouses to familiar suburban streets, the homes across Blacktown have changed considerably over the years.

This week, we're taking a trip down memory lane to explore some of the houses that have been part of our local history. Some have disappeared with time, while others remain standing, each with a story to tell.

📸 Take a look through these photographs from our Local History Collection.

Do you recognise any of these homes or streets? Perhaps you lived nearby, grew up in one, or remember what the area looked like before it changed.

💬 We'd love to hear your memories! Share your stories in the comments below.
