Prisoner of Melbourne: Brick Works
| Mister SF’s Roadshow: Prisoner of Melbourne |
Meg Morris and Ann Reynolds were held captive at this Brick Works by Phyllis Hunt’s boyfriend Brian Lowe in a storyline building up to Prisoner’s 500th Episode in 1984. Bricks are everywhere in Prisoner, all the time. Even the officers live in brick buildings. To viewers from other parts of the world this may seem peculiar, perhaps even the result of budget consideration, but, no! There really are bricks everywhere in Melbourne.
These kids hear the captive women calling out but think they’re about to be caught smoking cigarettes so they scram.
How we got there: from Joan Ferguson’s house at 27 Howard Street, Box Hill, continue west on Howard Street to the end of the block where Howard meets Surrey Court.
