Time for the first Mystery Photo of 2010. Somewhere in Newtown is this faded sign - where exactly ?

Australia St, on corner next to the outboard engine place?

Brown street, lower end just down from the mechanic?

Linthorpe Lane

Mayor of Newtown said...

Linthorpe Lane it is - well done !

Henare Degan said...

Yay!

And quite an appropriate sign it is too, it's a mighty small lane. I wonder what its history is?

Mayor of Newtown said...

Indeed. It also serves as access to the Mayor's garage - and really should be one-way; especially the angled bit that joins Linthorpe Street.

There's a little bit of information here:

Also check out the old map here which shows it didn't exist in 1890, and only partially existed in 1895.
