Balmain Street Shopping & Places of Worship.
| Helen Carter in conversation with Maryanne Chapman |

The third in the series, Street Shopping and Worship examines some of the Balmain Peninsula’s missing shops and their vital link to Balmain’s social history and early churches. There is a close connection between retail shopping and religion.
