Collins' Melbourne & Suburban Street Directory - 1955
Containing 162 Authentic and Official Postal District Maps
Published by Collins Book Depot Pty Ltd: Melbourne 1955

"Collins' Melbourne & Suburban Street Directory, published in 1955, is a detailed cartographic guide designed to help residents and visitors navigate the rapidly expanding city of Melbourne and its surrounding suburbs in the post-war era. The directory contains meticulously drawn maps of streets, tramlines, railway routes, parks, and public buildings. It reflects the urban development of the time, offering insight into how the city was structured and the importance of transport networks in shaping its layout.

In addition to maps, the directory includes an alphabetical index of streets and locations, making it a practical tool for commuters, delivery services, and urban planners alike. As a historical document, it captures a snapshot of mid-20th century Melbourne, highlighting emerging suburbs and infrastructure changes influenced by wartime and post-war population growth. Today, it serves as a valuable reference for historians, genealogists, and those interested in Melbourne's urban evolution."
