Maling Road is a popular shopping strip in Canterbury, Victoria, Australia. It contains over fifty Edwardian-style shops in a pseudo-village setting. Its location was chosen due to its proximity to Canterbury railway station.[1]
History
The present-day shopping strip has its roots in the construction of the railway line at Canterbury railway station in 1882.[2] Although most buildings in the area near the intersection with Canterbury Road date from the early 1900s, some were constructed before this time.[3]
In the 1970s after the grade separation of the railway line across Canterbury Road, there were proposals to demolish large parts of the shopping centre and construct a supermarket. This was met with resistance from the local community and the project successfully stopped.[4] A council proposal to turn part of the street into a pedestrian mall was also scrapped.[5]
