But two interesting points about the postings above:
1) Weir Street.
- As this leads on to the river, does it not suggest that at some point there was a weir here? A weir, is of course, a form of artificial dam - possibly to provide channeled water for a water mill. If so, where could this have been?
2) The Australian pub
- This is an unusual name. I wonder if it could have been a 20th century naming (just as pubs are often renamed today). Does anyone have any idea as to why this pub could have been named that? (Gallipoli/Lancashire Fusiliers connection? 1901 Australian Constitution? Transportation of convicts from Accy to Australia? Cricketing connection?). I know the Blockade Pub round the corner on Edgar Street is named after a Crimean War Blockade (Sevastopol)...but any ideas on the Australian. I must admit, I'd never heard of this pub before.
