Local History books for sale

Fishing Sand and Village Days
and Frankston Source Materials


These two local history books are currently on sale at Frankston Library as a set for $5.00.

Fishing Sand and Village Days is an oral history of the Frankston area from the early 1900s through to 1950. In it you'll discover amazing facets of Frankston's history, like the lost sandpits of Seaford, the long gone hop farm on Robinsons Road, the Gas Works in central Frankston and what happened when the Yanks arrived in WW2.

Frankston Source Materials features primary sources related to transport in old Frankston. The days of horse and cart come to life along with the early days of the Frankston railway line.

The money from the sale of these items will go back into the Library's local history budget.
