Notes (points of interest etc.) |
On 25 March 1845 William Jenkins purchased
21 acres of Section 346 which he divided into three equal portions, selling
one to Richard James Hart and a second to Enoch Fry. He and Fry later sold
their portions to George Rolfe the trustee of a syndicate of eleven. The land
comprised 64 allotments located either side of California Street to be called
the Village of Nailsworth, after Fry’s birthplace in Gloucestershire. In about 1878 William Jenkins and Richard
James Hart who each owned 12 acres of Section 349 subdivided this to create
the eastern sections of Gloucester and Harrington (now Milner) streets. |
