Fortitude Valley, Queensland
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Fortitude Valley, also known simply as the Valley is a suburb of central Brisbane, Australia immediately north-east of the CBD. It is one of the hubs of Brisbane's nightlife, renowned for its nightclubs and adult entertainment. It is also the hub for Brisbane's gay scene, as home to a number of gay nightclubs and venues. 1891 saw the train line extended from the CBD to the Valley, and Thomas Beirne opened a business on Brunswick Street. His business thrived and, after extension, he travelled to England in 1896, leaving his manager of two years, James McWhirter, in charge. Soon after his return, McWhirter established a competing drapery business opposite Beirne's in 1898. Beirne and McWhirter became keen rivals and are credited with establishing the Valley as a hub of commerce from the late 1890s. In 1893 (and again in 1897) major floods wiped out many shops in the inner city and owners in that area decided to move and set up operations north of the river in an area free of flooding. The area they chose was the Valley. By that time Brisbane's horse drawn tram system already centred on the Valley, making it the logical choice to establish a shopping precinct. The rise of suburban shopping centres and the closure of the tram network in 1969 sounded the death knell for the Valley, with a gradual decrease in customers. The once thriving commercial centre devolved to dilapidation. In the 1970s and 1980s the area fell into disrepute and, with the tacit support of police and government, illegal gambling houses and brothels set up shop. As the first step to its revitalisation, the Chinatown Mall was opened in 1987. The 1990s saw the development in the Valley of a thriving live music scene and nightclub district. In 1991 the Brunswick Street pedestrian shopping mall was established. Thereafter, the Brisbane City Council led a concerted urban renewal campaign, encouraging high density residential development around the suburb. Brunswick Street stands as the Valley's centrepiece, boasting restaurants, boutique shopping, live music venues, nightclubs, backpackers' hostels, hotels, and residents new and old with female street prostitutes still a common sight during the day and night.
