History

Rozelle Public School, designed by John Horbury Hunt

Darling Street was named after General Sir Ralph Darling, a British Army officer who served as Governor of New South Wales from 1825 to 1831.[2]

In 1875, Darling Street received its first installation of gas lighting. The effect of this was so that during the late 1880s there was an increase of business due to the increase of illumination along the shopping strip at night. Twenty years prior to this the area where the town hall is now located was occupied by bushland.

Trams

Main article: Trams in Sydney

Trams once ran all the way down Darling Street to Balmain East wharf. The first steam tram to service Darling Street was in 1892. Ten years later the service was electrified.[3] A feature of this line was a counterweight dummy system that controlled and assisted trams on a steep single-line section of track near the terminus at Darling Wharf. Due to the very steep (1 in 8) descent at the eastern end of the street beyond Nicholson Street, the trams used a complex counterweight system constructed under the road surface. The trams were pushed up the steep hill by the dummy, and rode the dummy on the way down to safely descend the hill.[4]

Gladstone Park Reservoir

Construction of the Gladstone Park Reservoir was announced in 1912 causing public outcry. The water board reassured residents that the park and bandstand would be restored to its former status once the reservoir was complete. Before construction of the reservoir residents obtained their water supply from backyard wells or water carts. Completed in 1917 the reservoir is still intact and the water is now used for reserve supply only.
