Pennydale, Victoria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pennydale is an old name, no longer used, for a part of the suburb of Cheltenham in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Pennydale was that part of Cheltenham lying between Bay Road (to the north), Jack Road (to the west), Park Road (to the south) and the Frankston railway line, and lay entirely within the current Local Government Areas of the City of Bayside. Pennydale was approximately 20 km south-east from Melbourne's central business district, postcode 3192.

To the north-east of Pennydale on the opposite side of the railway line and within Cheltenham is a large shopping centre called Westfield Shoppingtown (Southland) which was initially completed in 1968. It has been expanded in a number of stages over the years, including a retail bridge over Nepean Highway containing shops.
