Buildings Past and Present - Allardyce Street, Brandon Road, Dairy Paddock Road, Moody Street, King Street or McGill's Hill and St Mary's Walk

 

Introduction

Allardyce Street was named after Governor ALLARDYCE who was a very popular governor and devoted to the Falkland Islands.  Brandon Road was originally known as Dairy Paddock Road but was renamed in memory of the late Dean BRANDON in October 1933.  At that point it was approximately quarter of a mile long and ran from the Magazine Valley Road over a section of what was once a part of the Dairy Paddock to the Rose Hotel Hill. The original and current Dairy Paddock Roads were named after the dairy which the Falkland Islands Company Ltd used to have in the area.  Moody Street was named after Governor MOODY.  King Street, also known as McGill’s Hill after the McGill Butchery which was located there, was named after Commander Philip Parker KING who was the captain of the survey ship HMS Adventure.  St Mary’s Walk was named after the Roman Catholic Chapel.
