		The Inner Circle Line - the Melbourne suburban rail line that disappeared.Carlton Community History Group have produced the above publication.   The book tells the story of the development of Melbourne’s suburban rail lines, and in particular of the ill-conceived Inner Circle Line that ran through the inner northern suburbs (including Fitzroy North of course) from 1888 until its final closure in the 1970's. Due to the efforts of local residents and supporters, we now all enjoy the linear park that remains.Copies are available from Carlton Community History Group for $15 (plus $6 postage if applicable): www.cchg.asn.au/publications.htmlCopies are also available from the following:· Carlton Library, 667 Rathdowne St, North Carlton.· Kylie’s Slow Dough, 649 Rathdowne St, North Carlton.· Railway House, 20 Solly Ave, Princes Hill.· RHSV Bookshop, 239 a’Beckett St, Melbourne.(Note: Prices from these outlets may be more than $15, but no postage cost is involved).
