  • The Creation of Jubilee Park and Its Oval. by Max Solling The
    The Creation of Jubilee Park and its Oval. by Max Solling The configuration of the Glebe waterfront was altered during the nineteenth century by extensive reclamation. Johnston’s Creek, which began in Stanmore, and Orphan School Creek with its source on the University ridges, ran down through Glebe. Tidal swamps fringed with mangroves extended along these creeks before they emptied into Rozelle Bay. In 1878 the proprietors of Toxteth Park were reportedly carrying out reclamation work along Johnston’s Creek in 1878. 1 As Glebe was filling up with houses, in December 1886 ratepayers at a public meeting urged the government to resume Allen’s Glen for the purposes of public recreation.2 William Pritchard, former Leichhardt councillor, referred to the area in 1891 as “North Annandale a few years ago known as the stinkpot, a reputation earned for it by the horrible stenches and miasma that came from the mangrove swamps” near the head of Rozelle Bay. The Sydney Freehold Land Building and Investment Company, both owner and financier of development of North Annandale Estate, had then begun reclaiming the swampy land, as did the Allen family who owned the other side of Johnston’s Creek.3 Francis Abigail MLA urged Henry Parkes MLA and Premier to have swamp reclamation works carried out.4 The Public Works Department thus began construction in 1893 of a ballast dyke from the mouth of White’s Creek to Glebe Point. A government dredge, the ‘Groper’, cut up the clay with rotating knives below. A vertical suction pipe was used to pump the dredged sediment half a mile, to be discharged behind the stone dyke.
