Get Storage Here. Rated 4. The choice of the name Rozelle for the southwest part of the peninsula is attributed to the colonial Postmaster-General of , who named the suburb's planned new post office after the nearby bay. As it was built of blackbutt timber, this first structure was fittingly named Blackbutt Bridge. The landmark cable-stayed bridge that now spans Johnstons Bay opened in and was officially named Anzac Bridge on Remembrance Day Although the electrical swing-span Glebe Island Bridge of , which the Anzac Bridge replaced, is now closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic, the older bridge is viewable from the footway of the new.

In common with others across inner Sydney, residents of Rozelle are religiously disinclined. An increasing proportion 41 per cent in either rejects the option of answering the census question on religion or indicates 'agnostic' or 'no religion'. Rozelle's prehistory is a veiled one. As remnants of Aboriginal middens, which may be as old as 4, years, have survived on various parts of the Balmain peninsula, the Wangal band of the Dharug or Eora language group may be presumed to have inhabited Rozelle, as well as other areas south of the Parramatta River from the Balmain peninsula west to Auburn and Silverwater.

The catastrophic epidemic of smallpox among Sydney's Aboriginal people that began in is known to have decimated the Cadigal band in the eastern and northern parts of Sydney. It seems improbable that so insidiously contagious a disease would not also have spread to the neighbouring Wangal people, as they too would have had no immunity.

While the Dharug-Eora people had lived in the Sydney area for at least 10, years before European settlement, the period of Wangal habitation is unknown. In , following a change in the boundaries of the Leichhardt area and in recognition of coastal Sydney's Aboriginal history, Leichhardt Council, in consultation with the Local Metropolitan Land Council, adopted Aboriginal names for its ward structure.

People living in Rozelle who identified themselves as being of Australian Indigenous descent numbered 51 in the census. Until , Rozelle was sparsely populated with Europeans but, from to , its frontier character rapidly subsided as land subdivision, speculation and sales surged. From to the overall peninsular population more than doubled from 8, to 16, This transformation was attributable to an decision made by the judicial bench of the British House of Lords, which authorised the trustees of John Borthwick Gilchrist — to sell peninsular land that was still in their possession.

William Balmain's heirs had contested the transfer that Balmain had made to Gilchrist in , only 15 months after he was first granted the land. David Ramsay was one early speculator. Ramsay's family had owned Dobroyd now Haberfield and he lived at nearby Kalouan, a house located at the southern side of the mouth of Long Cove Creek, close to where Broughton Hall now stands. Slade and Ramsay were related, both men having married descendents of Prosper de Mestre.

Alfred Hancock was a Londoner who migrated to Sydney in the late s. Between and , he purchased large parcels of local land. William Henry Paling, piano importer and alderman and mayor of Petersham, Louis Foucart MD, superintendent of Sydney's quarantine station, and Ferdinand Reuss, architect, builder and surveyor, were other speculators who joined Hancock's enterprise.

In his role of estate agent, Hancock used the advertising slogan 'Homes for the People' until He further offered to supply timber at 10 shillings weekly.

His strategy of achieving a large turnover of small building plots, sold at modest prices, enabled people of limited financial means to become freeholders.

Hancock served as an alderman of Balmain from to and again from to , an opportunity that he probably used to minimise infrastructure costs associated with the provision of roads, drainage and open space in his subdivisions. Mertonville, the Balmain house that Hancock and his family occupied at Elliott, Beattie, and Lawson streets now a public reserve , was, like many of the dwellings that sprang up on his estates, constructed of weatherboard and corrugated iron.

Terms and Conditions. Privacy Policy. Read More. Area features. PUBS British-style pubs and their cosy beer gardens which are the perfect setting for hearty meals and cold beer on tap. If you're young you have to deal with rude middle aged boomers that pick fights and complain all day about young people in the area because they want to tell young people how they should act and always get stuck dealing with some who want to speak to you like they're your parent.

Not to mention the amount of homeless people in the area - Have been street harassed and verbally abused and had some men follow me trying to intimidate me or look me up and down in really inappropriate ways and have made me feel uncomfortable.

Recommend caution for younger women. I lived here forever from when it was a run down joint, now it's totally transformed. Once the ugly sister to Balmain, now you see a total transformation and now Balmain is the ugly sister with empty shops everywhere. I also disagree with the comments on here that this is a friendly neighbourhood.

It may be only family friendly, which i am afraid only leaves a xenophobic attitude towards the rest of us. My partner and are moving after having lived here the past two years and to put it into perspective, our 'local' cafe still don't remember us, that's with tipping! Perhaps we'd have to have a child hanging off our arm or have lived in the neighbourhood for over twenty years to be taken more seriously, but the 'local' mentality is very evident here.

Oh i also forgot to mention the 'local' residents are extremely nosey of new tenants, and not in the "hi! Further, there doesn't seem to be any real benefits to living in Rozelle, apart from public transport being amazing and one massive amazing dog park, everything else is put to shame.

The food is overrated! Not only is the food over priced and just bad.. Don't order anything like fish otherwise don't say you weren't warned! The nightlife is borderline a very strange masculine atmosphere-and oddly a bit rough dare i say bogan? The overall vibe is just weird, market day weekend markets seems like a good idea but never is. Not including the string of pubs on Victoria road before darling st, Local pub vibe is unfriendly bartenders just seemed to be bored but also rude.

It's still quite noisy, the roads are full of pot holes, the houses are old but you're expected to pay Surry Hills like fees, just expensive. If you've recently popped out a kid this seems like your gig.. If you're currently enjoying the existence of not having a child, don't live here.

SallyL2 doesn't know what she's talking about and seems to have an axe to grind - have lived here as a single prof and family man, and it's a great high amenity suburb.

Maybe your attitude is why the locals weren't fans Sal? Im a young single and agree with this review. This is a public forum where everyone is entitled to different opinions and just because someone says something you don't agree with doesn't mean they have an attitude :.

I've lived in Rozelle for a year now and I'm leaving as soon as my tenancy contract is complete. The area itself is fine: shops, cafes, resturuants, pubs, etc. It also good in terms of access to the city and for local walks bay run.
