Marking historic Kyneton

Bendigo Bank Kyneton staff member Karen Bloomfield and manager Robyn Spiteri, The Albion Hotel's Marisa Leahy, and Kyneton Historical Society member Mal Closter at the Albion Hotel on Tuesday with a new historical plaque.

The Discover Historic Kyneton Project is labelling historic Kyneton buildings with commemorative plaques.

It is the continuation of a 2001 project where 16 historic properties were signed with enamel plaques.

In this stage of the Discover Historic Kyneton Project (2012-2013), the working group is adding 13 more plaques, and there are at least a further 20 in the pipeline.

The plaque at The Albion Hotel is the first set in place for the 2012-13 round.

The project was donated more than $5000 of Bendigo Bank Community U funding to continue.

The working group thanks the bank for funding, and also the Kyneton Historical Society for its contribution to the project research.

Locals who live in historically notable homes and businesses, both large and small, are asked to contact the Discover Historic Kyneton Project group to get involved. A list of all properties that have been 'plaqued' will be available at the Visitor Information Centre with the group's contact details.
