Landscaping at Hornsby Park

Details

Identifiernot specifiedPhotographernot specifiedDescriptionHornsby Park was set aside as a reserve in 1896 and became used as a park after the First World War. Hornsby Park is situated on part of the Higgins original land grant. Thomas Edward Higgins (1800-1865) was the earliest known European settler near modern Hornsby. His land grant in Old Man's Valley was confirmed in 1836. The valley was originally a timber collecting and orchard area and other families such as the Harrington family soon joined the Higgins family in the valley.Physical FormatHornsby Last edited by: Neil Chippendale
