Hampton Estate Sandringham 12th of November 1904 – Hampton

Description

I found only 2 advertisements for this auction. The first was late October in the Argus and the 2nd on the day of the sale in the Age. Both advertisements were not large. Probably the “Special Features” made the sale. Premission to have a bathing-box for a small fee, free railway passes for a “term of years” if you get a house built in 4 months and views of the sea from all parts of the estate. The subdivision starts on the corner of the Esplanade (Beach Road) and a small Right-of-Way just south of where Orlando Street meets Beach Road and heads east over the railway line and along the south side of Willis Street to Hampton Street then south to a couple of blocks south of where Station Street ( now Railway Crescent) joins Orlando Street.
