Robinson story

from Robinsons or Rotherhithe by Joanne Robinson

Robinson land

 

 

 

Here is an enlarged section of the plan of Parnell in 1845 in Joanne's book. It shows the north-west section, with Parnell Road on the left, and the Robinson brothers' sections at 67A and 67B. Together, these two sections were about the size of our house section here.

 

 

 

 

This is the full plan of Parnell in 1845 from the book, which gives a better idea of the two Robinson properties in relation to the whole suburb.
