STREETS OF SYDNEY

Gaslight was first introduced to Sydney in the 1820s and to Melbourne in the 1840s by various individuals who set up small plants which could supply a single establishment. The more complex problem of manufacturing gas and distributing it throughout a whole town, however, was first addressed by the Australian Gas Light Company, which was formed in 1837 to light the streets of Sydney. With a part-convict population of less than 30,000 Sydney lacked a municipal council when this Company first lighted its lamps. Thus on 24 May 1841, the first night of reticulated gas supply in Australia, of the 181 lamps lighted only 22 were street lights. Formed in 1842, Sydney’s Corporation began systematic lighting of the city four years later.

CASTLEREAGH STREET

MELINDA MCNALLY LIVED IN CASTLEREAGH STREET AT THE ADDRESS OF REV RICHARD HILL. SHE IS MARKED THERE IN CENSUS IN THE 1820s. 1923 AND 1928 as a child of 9 and then of 11. An obvious discrepancy. She is also recorded as MATILDA. Some have written of her as being taken in following the death of her mother Judith, by the “kindly” Mrs Hill and treated as a foster child and as passing her time engaged in the activities of young ladies e.g. watercolour painting, writing verses and pleasant sewing. This seems to me doubtful. She is listed as SERVANT. She is the little girl of  a Roman Catholic Irish family with a father convicted of Desertion and sentenced to Life. Who knows what happened in this time ? Certainly her mother was still alive in 1823 and Patrick, Judith, Eliza, William, Sarah and John are all living in Kent street at that time as is Mary although she could have been already at the residence of James Martin as his ‘ housekeeper’. In 1828 we have the same situation except that William has gone out to Airds. Patrick is listed as being 45 and the female name following his is SUSANNAH instead of Judith. She is listed as being 43 which Judith would have been so it appears probable that it refers to Judith. Be that as it may,Melinda aka Matilda McNally who in 1822 was living in Windsor with her family - Irish, Catholic, with parents and siblings. Parents and children who had survived War and Court Martial and a journey from Canada to England to NSW, life on the Hawkesbury - then spent the years from at least 1823-1828 in the home of an Anglican Minister who lists Matilda as Protestant and Servant in the middle of Sydney.  We have Patrick’s Tickets of Exemption from Government Labour to reside with his wife Judith right up till 1832 when he received his pardon.

Be that as it may - Melinda’s life from  1823 when she was 8-9 years old till at least 1828 when she was 12-13 years old was spent living in Castlereagh Street .

From Urban Jail to Bourgeois Suburb

The Transformation of Neighborhood in Early Colonial Sydney

Graeme Davison

Monash University

” Early colonial Sydney was founded on convict transportation but by the 1820s was being transformed by free settlement in a developing market economy. Neighborhood relations in the town were shaped by these intersecting influences, the first dividing convict from free settler, the second dividing rich from poor. Descriptions of the town portray it as divided between a plebeian west and a respectable east, but analysis of the 1828 census reveals a more complex social geography where convicts, exconvicts, and free settlers met in individual households and neighborhoods. Court records reveal the tensions this created. The solution, for many of the urban elite, was urban planning that would create a uniform, clean, segregated, and disciplined community. ^“

THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP
Church Hill, Sydney

An eye witness, Frank Clune, recalled:

“In 1906 my home was near the Devonshire Street Cemetery. After the Government decided to extend the railway from Redfern to its present site, a tunnel was driven from Devonshire Street to George Street, through the graves of pioneers buried from 1819 to 1900. Like my scallywag companions, I was morbidly fascinated by the disinterment of the skeletons, which though done with due respect and reverence was still a grim spectacle for the crowds of onlookers. When Central Railway Station was completed, the tunnel from Devonshire Street to Railway Square was opened beneath the railway lines. Before that extension, steam trains from Redfern to the city crossed through Belmont Park to Castlereagh Street. A footbridge spanned the tram,-lines, on which I often stood trying to spit down the funnels of the locomotives.
