If you go to the online archives of Sydney City Council and download the 1854 map of Sydney, you will find Union Street, connecting Sussex to Kent, between (as you said) Druitt and Bathurst. On the 1880 map, it is shown as Fowler Street, with the Shamrock hotel on the corner with Sussex. On the 1833 map, there is no street or lane at all. Hope this helps (I stumbled across this while researching 357 Sussex for a friend and am trying to sort out if there was a street number change). The SCC archives also have Sand's directories, that list each street number and the usage. It shows 258 Sussex (cnr Union Lane) as James Smith's Wheelwrights Arms with George O Lenter a builder on the other corner. Hope this helps.Alan Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248423250176680613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172940830246247875.post-4236796275769372802017-08-31T22:11:19.968-07:002017-08-31T22:11:19.968-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04502814870592727395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172940830246247875.post-29061341322549977852017-05-31T17:54:39.595-07:002017-05-31T17:54:39.595-07:00Just stumbled across this post yesterday. What a g...Just stumbled across this post yesterday. What a great detective story. Well done. May I suggest also the use of the Trigonometric survey of Sydney, carried out by Sydney Council and finished in 1865. It is all digitised (yay!) and can be found at their Historical Atlas site (http://atlas.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/), along with a stack of other useful maps.Megan Hitchenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08361935100439511819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172940830246247875.post-54897528179730957132016-07-11T02:15:38.885-07:002016-07-11T02:15:38.885-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Marlyn Woodardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13837322560648671598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172940830246247875.post-49662811101792697852015-04-06T22:09:42.030-07:002015-04-06T22:09:42.030-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.KazBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499343705337837502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172940830246247875.post-69934732127010266762015-03-13T16:28:47.046-07:002015-03-13T16:28:47.046-07:00What a fun post Sharn - I felt I was with you ever...What a fun post Sharn - I felt I was with you every step of the way.

This is worthy of a periodical article or a monograph, and a presentation at a society and conference (or cruise!). I can see we will have to return to Sydney sometime to walk where Linda's great-grandmother was born and her second great-grandparents walked.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to what else you can find out.
