We can’t but note the remarkable number of views our video on Concord has received. This is in comparison with not only Industrial Concord, but also the vast majority of our sixty seven videos on the “History of Suburban Sydney.” Our research into what is happening in Concord that should create this, at present has proved fruitless. Is their something going on in real estate? We certainly didn’t set out to assist such people. Here’s hoping someone can explain. In the meantime we are very pleased to be receiving so many views.

At 12:43 features Henley park at Enfield, not the one in Concord which was dedicated as Longbottom Cemetery. Both are linked to the same Thomas Henley, but the photo use is as stated, incorrect.

Coming shortly in the next few days, “Industrial Concord, ” which compliments this video, and rounds out the history of the former municipality.

A question for our viewers. Why have our most popular Youtube videos been on, Kingsgrove, Glebe, Parramatta’s an historical time line and discovering history, Manly, Ryde and Concord.
We would like to hear your views, particularly if you are a resident, employed in the area, or were either of these in the past. Concord’s former industries may attract many males, whose specific interest is industrial heritage. Four out of five of our viewers, according to Youtube statistics are male, but why we ask are you watching?
