A Short autobiography
ROZELLE
The origin of the name of Rozelle is lost in history. Several theories exist and ted believes it is named after an estate in Scotland originally owned by the Hamilton family. Rozelle Park and Rozelle House is now owned by the local County.
ROZELLE
Inner western suburb of Sydney.
Leichhardt Council
Rozelle was a quiet inner Sydney suburb close to the city centre and not too close. Rozelle was a working class suburb in the late 1800s where houses were built for the families of hard working men and women who built Callan Park Mental Hospital, wharves and abettors. A small shopping centre grew up at the Darling Street/Victoria Road intersection before 1900.
Victoria Road became a major road linking Central Sydney with the continually growing North Western Suburbs. A tram line ran through Rozelle linking Central Sydney with Balmain and Drummoyne. Many ferries sailed across Sydney Harbour linking Rozelle to Circular Quay, Darling Harbour, North Sydney and many other harbour suburbs. It was common for the residents of Rozelle to walk over the Glebe Island bridge into downtown Sydney.
Rozelle was built before motor cars. There was no sewage and the pan man walked along a maze of dunny lanes. The harbour was very important for transport. Large ocean ships docked at the harbourside wharfs. People caught harbour ferries to travel to work. Water sports were common. Sailing regattas were fun to watch and many great rowers practiced on the calm waters of the bays.
