Sherwood Court, Perth


Sherwood Court is a short sloping road between St Georges Terrace in Perth, Western Australia and The Esplanade (Perth) with Allendale Square on the upper corner, and Lawson Apartments on the lower.

It sits across from London Court and allows pedestrian access between the CBD and The Esplanade and Perth foreshore. Its context has been taken into consideration in planning of the Perth foreshore development in that it is claimed that planned structures on The Esplanade (Perth) will not block the view to Perth Water

The images of former buildings on the St George's terrace corner provide context to the early architecture now lost

The Cecil Building at number 6 was frequently photographed as well as Sherwood House

During the second world war, various offices of services relating to the war effort were housed in Sherwood Court and before offices were made elsewhere, sections of the Perth Road Board were located as well

The Allendale square and Exchange Plaza buildings now take up considerable space of former structures in the street.
