Brisbane’s heritage register records Walton Bridge and Reserve as a place of local heritage significance. Its arches span Enoggera Creek beneath Waterworks Road.
A road with a purpose
The route developed as a track to Enoggera Reservoir. The bridge and surrounding reserve offer a connection to the changing transport needs of Brisbane’s western suburbs.
Look a little closer
Council’s heritage entry brings together the place’s history and significance. Read the original record before drawing conclusions about heritage controls on a particular property.
Ashgrove Historical Society offers a way to explore the suburb through local records, publications and presentations—and to contribute material from your own family collection.
Ashgrove Library at 87 Amarina Avenue offers more than borrowing: collection lockers, printing and meeting rooms can make it a useful stop for local households and groups.
