OLD PROPERTY Changes Hands at Mayfield HOW VALUES HAVE ALTERED A 33-acre block of land that has quite a history changed hands yesterday. It is situated in Mayfield West, in the centre of an area that possibly has more historical associations than any other part of Newcastle. The land is an old farming property, with a frontage of 10 chains to Bull-street and a return frontage of 33 chains to Tourle-street, and an area, of 33 acres 16 perches. It is the most western allotment in Mayfield, for Tourle-street is the boundary between the municipality and Tarro Shire. The property has been bought by the Bishop of Maitland. The Murray-Dwyer Orphanage, opened recently is on the opposite side of Tourle-street, and the newly acquired area will probably he used for the extension of the activities of the institution in the future. The purchase price was £2600. Eighty-three years ago, on December 13, 1850. this block was made available for settlement. The original documents describe it as situated at Platt s Channel, near Newcastle. John Nott was the first owner--he bought the 33 acres in 1851 for £491/13/. In the following year he sold it to James and Alexander Brown for £101/6/6. Apparently the famous coal firm found it unsuitable for their purposes, for in the same year they transferred it to William Thomas Brain for £78. The new owner took over a wilderness covered with thick brush; he farmed it, and improved it to such an extent that in 1864. when he sold it to David Simpson, he received £1000 for the property. After Mr. Simpson s death it was offered at auction in 1909, and bought by the vendors in the present sale for £510. William Brain lived in a small cottage near the river, but this has been demolished. and to-day only the dome of the original well remains. David Simpson built the present home, a cottage of mixed construction.
