I wonder if this could be the bridge from which "Bridge Street" takes its
name and links east-west between Wickham and Ann streets, Fortitude Valley.
This area was very low lying in fact much of what constitutes Wickham Street
today had to be built up and the fill mostly came from cutting down Duncan
Hill where All Hallows stands today. It sounds feasible to me. Ann Street
was formerly Eagle Farm Road. Do you think it could have been known as Queen
Street before that? Wickham Street did not exist until the late 1850s or
early 1860s - I'd have to look it up to be certain.

Hi Terry
I'm not sure which street you are particularly interested in but BCC
Archives is probably the best bet to check for original naming although some
of their records are a little sketchy and some are non existent. Windmell
owned land in the vicinity. I don't have anything to hand on Winn or
McLachlan. New Farm & Districts Historical Society may be able to help you.
Spring Hill & Districts Historical Society has folded but I believe Cr
Hinchliffe may have knowledge of some of their records.
As for the history on your house, have you consulted the "Your house has a
history - keys to unlocking its past" - a guide published by BCC c2004?

Hi, Terry, you may have cracked the code here with the info about
McLachlan St. being Windmell. Charles Windmell kept the only hotel in
the Valley in the 1850s. His address was also given as Rosebank
Cottage, next to the New Bridge, Fortitude Valley. So, along with
Ray`s clue about Bridge Street, we may have a solution. At least till
the next bit of info spoils a good theory. :-p

Nope, Windmell`s Hotel, the 'Stranger`s Home', appears to be on the
corner of New Farm Rd. and Queens St., Fortitude Valley. He was
selling it in 1854 after running it for three years. (aka Ann and
Brunswick Sts.)
