| Description |
Notes: this wooden structure, built on six concrete piers, was opened and named Glenroy Bridge on October 19, 1901, by the Hon. E.W. O’Sullivan, Minister for Works. "In April, 1837, James Blair, Police Magistrate, reported that William Kay, a life prisoner, had with another convict been left un-superintended on the land at Cox’s River, and that he had been brought before the Bench charged with being out at night, without a pass, and with abusive language. Consequently Blacket was informed that unless he kept a ticket-of-leave overseer on his land his assigned servants would be withdrawn. Blacket replied that he had visited the property twice and his free groom once since its recent purchase, that he had engaged free carpenters to build a house there for himself, and finally that a free man should be “sent to Glenroy, Cox’s River by 1st May”. On May 1 Blair reported that a qualified person had been duly sent and was then residing on the property. Here is the first known mention of the name “Glenroy” for this locality. In the Lithgow Mercury of January 6, 1922, it is stated that, in Gaelic it means the ‘Red Valley’." Format & creator : b&w photo postcard 14 cm x 9 cm. Henry T Mellor worked at a studio in Lithgow until 1911 before moving to Sydney, he photographed the ten tunnels deviation at the Lithgow Zig Zag in 1910. Date Range: c. 1910.
