Walcott Street is an important east–west road in the inner northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, linking four of Perth's major northern road corridors (Charles Street, Alexander Drive, Beaufort Street and Guildford Road). It is a four-lane road for its entire length.
Geography and route
Walcott Street begins in the Mount Lawley space and continues west through Menora and North Perth suburbs until ending at Charles Street. The path traverses a variety of districts, each with its distinct personality traits: from the alive, café-lined parts of Mount Lawley to the more sedate residential regions of Menora.
History
Originally constructed in the early 20th century as part of the suburban network's expansion, Walcott Street has a long history as one of Perth's northern suburban highways. The change from a primarily residential street into an area with multiple uses throughout the years is symbolic of the outlying areas' expansion and urbanization.
