St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Northcote

140 Westbourne Grove, Northcote

The first Northcote Catholic Church services were held in 1891 in a small wooden church in Arthurton Road.

In 1897 a more suitable site for a church was chosen and on January 15 1899, St Josephs was opened at 140 Westbourne Grove, Ruckers Hill.

Extensions were made in 1900 and a new school hall was opened in January 1903.
