In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it was a street of ill health,[2] slum conditions[3] and criminality.[4][5] In June 1904, footballer James Gullan was residing at 18 Norfolk Street, and while there he drank some boiler fluid by accident thinking it was castor oil, resulting in his death.[6]
In 1960 the Western Australian Wool Buyers & Exporters Association moved from their address in Perth to the Wool Exchange building at 5 Norfolk Street.[7]
In 1997 steps were taken to heritage list the buildings at 26-27 Norfolk Street.[8]
