Photographernot specifiedDescriptionMap shows the Field of Mars Common and the early land grants. The area, named by Governor Phillip after land grants made to marines, was bounded to the south by the Parramatta River and to the north by Boundary Road.
In 1874, land in the Field of Mars Common which had originally been available to farmers as a place providing free pasture for their stock was, by an Act of Parliament, resumed by the Crown for the purpose of providing residential building land.Physical FormatEpping Last edited by: Neil Chippendale
