About

Church Street took its name from St Mary’s Church over 500 years ago and was the main street linking travellers between Richmond and the West. When Richmond Bridge was built in 1777, York Street became the main through route. Church Street, however, still remains a perfect street for shopping in the many unique shops and eating out. It is also a popular location for film makers.
