This c.1890 map shows land from Mein Rd to Kennedy Esplande (now Flinders Parade) and Govt. Rd (now Griffith Rd) to Donkin St and Llewellyn St ( now Adams St)
We have finally worked out where the Queens Beach Land Sale map from c.1890 is located. Portion 242 and early maps show portion 242 was originally owned by T. Jones in 1878.
Featuring Mein St, Percy St ( now Frawley St) Llewellyn St ( now Adams St) Landsborough Ave ( now Oxley Ave) and Sea View Terrace (was William St and is now Prince Edward Parade)
The initial confusion was the reference to Landsborough Ave and the inclusion of a street called Sea View Terrace , however when compared to maps in 1915 and 1942 we can see that this street was called William St in 1915 and then went on to be Prince Edwards Parade.
Griffith Estate map c. 1920 showing the houses that are built and their location.
In this map Llewellyn St is now named Ross St (later named Adams St), Rupert St is later named Frawley St and Prince Edward Ave (now Prince Edward Parade)
