VICTORIA ROAD, SYDNEY. Proposed Road to Gladesville via Balmain and Five Dock. (Correspondence &c ..).
[Sydney, Govt Printer 1869]. Foolscap disbound; 42pp and folding plan. ¶ Not as straightforward nor as dull as it might seem. One of Sydney's main arterial (and these days most annoying) roads, the history of Victoria Road has its fascinations. This documents eight years of dispute, inertia and recalcitrance - finally ending when Charles Abercromby, owner of Birkenhead Estate, withdrew his prosecution of the government surveyor for trespass and other crimes.
