Street Histories

These short histories of some of the interesting streets in the Manly LGA have been written by Dr Terry Metherell, current President of the Manly, Warringah and Pittwater Historical Society.

They draw together information from a number of sources, such as the Sands’ Street Directories, subdivision plans, and photographs and other material held in the Wellings Local Studies collection of Manly Library. It is hoped to be able to add to this list of street histories in the future.See attached PDF files for these street histories.
