The author writes:

Reeve Street Clayfield was called Toorak Street in the year 1895.

Prospect Terrace Kelvin Grove was originally named Goat Terrace until the name was changed in 1886.

Shaftson Avenue was originally called Bulimba Road then later became Shaftston Road. The present name is Shaftson Avenue. The name Shaftson was given by Dr Challinor, who in early days lived in Shaftson House, in honour of his wife’s birthplace in the West Indies.

Coronation Drive had the original name of Moggill Rd then Riverview Road later to become River Road and latterly Coronation Drive.

Haig Street Clayfield originally in the estate of J. G. Wagner was known as Bismarck Street.

Vulture Street was the South Boundary Road of the original miles square plan of Brisbane Town. It derived its name as did Leopard St Kangaroo Point, from the visit of two British Warships, H.M.S. Vulture and H.M.S. Leopard in the early 1850’s.
