Royal Albion Estate Moreland Heights 9th November 1887 – Brunswick

Description

This is the third sale in the subdivision. The earlier sales, October 29 and November 5, were successful with every lot being sold. The poster indicates that the subdivision has been split into 5 sections. It appears that the third sale encompassed all remaining lots, sections 3, 4, 5 and some 23 allotments from section 2 (so how come they said that all of section 2 had sold – maybe someone is looking for a very quick turnover). The sale was held on a Wednesday so that local shopkeepers could attend – if you believe the auctioneer’s advertisements.

The subdivision is bounded in the east by Garnet Street, in the south by Albion Street, in the west by both sides of Shamrock Street and in the north by both sides of Royal Crescent (now renamed Shamrock Street). Thistle and Rose Streets run north south through the subdivision and Tinning Street runs east west.
