James Street, Northbridge

James Street in Northbridge, Western Australia is the main east-west road in the centre of the suburb.

The eastern end of the street has been closed and modified as the James Street Mall in the Perth Cultural Centre – with the Western Australian Museum, Alexander Library Building and older government buildings contained within the culture centre area.[1][2]

The central section between William Street and to the western end at Russell Square is a streetscape with a colourful and extensive history of crime, and notoriety.[3]
