Renamed Places in Queensland

Anyone doing local or family history knows the frustration of finding a town or street name or building name that just doesn't appear on a current map. This WWW page is intended to help find out the location and/or new name for those old/forgotten places in Queensland.

The list is sorted alphabetically by the old name or use the Find function in your browser (usually CTRL-F) if that's faster or you are looking for a new name.

The information provided here is on a "best efforts" basis. Please read the notes and sources and check the map link in order to satisfy yourself that this is the location you are looking for. Where possible, I try to include online access to sources and maps I refer to, but in some cases I cannot do so for reasons such as copyright.

Please send me any updates/corrections to kerry.raymond@gmail.com Even if you don't know the full story of the name change, many researchers would welcome any clue to track down those elusive places.

Also send old place names even if you don't know the new place name. Please send as much information as you can about how you came upon the place name as that may contain vital clues. I can add them to the WWW page and someone out there may be able to provide the new name if I can't track it down.

Just a note on sources. I try to provide online sources wherever possible, but unfortunately some web pages move or disappear over time. Please let me know if you find a broken link. Often I can find the new online location or provide access to the old page via the Internet Archive. Unfortunately the Internet Archive usually only saves the text from old web pages and not the images, so if I must now point you at the Internet Archive, please expect that the page you will reach will probably look at bit messy but it's the best I can provide for you.

Towns, suburbs & localities

Old names for towns, suburbs and localities may still be in use as the name for a current post office, school, railway station or church.

Old Name & old map link	New Name and current map link	Latitude, Longitude	Dates, Notes and Sources
A
Aalborg	Nikenbah	-25.315573, 152.803584	Originally named by Danish settlers after the town of Aalborn in Denmark. Renamed prior to 1937. [source] The Aalborg name persists in Aalborg Road and Aalborg Cemetery.
Abbotsford Estate, Brisbane	Taringa		A suburban subdivision on an 1895 map. It is bounded to the north by Stanley Terrace, to the east by Mount Coot-tha Road (now Moorak Street), to the south by Moggill Road and Waverley Road, and to the west by Manchester Street and Woodstock Avenue.
Abednego, Thursday Island, Torres Strait	Rose Hill	-10.57339, 142.22218	Renamed in 1991 [source]
Albion Heights, Brisbane	Albion/Ascot	-27.43040, 153.04839	The area on the boundary of the present day Albion and Ascot. The "heights" is presumably a reference to Bartley's Hill (-27.43170, 153.05212). [Gregory's 1975 street directory]
Albion Park, Brisbane	Albion	-27.43975, 153.04549	An area within the [present day suburb of Albion. Refers to the area near Albion Park racing track. [Gregory's 1975 street directory]
Alexandra	Mackay	-21.138, 149.190	The proposed name for the township was Alexandra and the river was to be Mackay River, but then they changed the river to be the Pioneer River and the township to be Mackay. This occured about 1863. [source]
Alfred, west of Ipswich	Calvert	-27.6639, 152.5160	Originally known as McKeown, then as Western Creek (1877-1887), then as Alfred (1887-1931), finally renamed Calvert in 1931 [source][source][source]
Altandi, Brisbane	Sunnybank	-27.58272, 153.06367	Now in Sunnybank. [source][source] There is an Altandi railway station and an Altandi Street in that area.
Annerley Junction, Brisbane	Annerley	-27.510, 153.033	Area near the intersection of Ipswich Road and Annerley Road, Annerley
Armstrong (or Armstrong Estate), Townsville	Gulliver	-19.284, 146.778	Changed in 1950 [source]
Ascot, near Aramac	Clemeshia (or Clemesha)	-23.317, 145.233	Originally called Ascot after the Ascot Downs pastoral run. Renamed to avoid confusion with the suburb of Ascot in Brisbane [source][source]. There was a Clemeshia railway siding on the now-abandoned Barcaldine-to-Aramac tramway. It was named after Samuel Clemesha who served on the Aramac Shire Council for 15 years (whose surname is consistently spelled that way in BDM records, electoral rolls and newspaper articles) so the reason for the current spelling is unclear.
Atkinsons Lagoon	Atkinsons Dam	-27.427,152.449	There was a natural lagoon which was dammed in 1970 to create Atkinsons Dam.
Avondale Estate, Brisbane	Coorparoo	-27.4903, 153.0543	An 1887 estate maps shows Avondale Estate as the area west of the northern end of Cavendish Road south to about Riddings Road, bounded on the west by a small creek; the Coorparoo Railway Station is not shown as it did not exist at that time. [source]
Ayrdale Estate, north of Warwick	Deuchar & Glengallan	-28.1176, 151.9789	The Ayrdale Estate was sold in 1910. The land sold was spread across the eastern side of current Deuchar & western side of current Glengalla. See here for the Ayrdale estate map.
B
Badgen, near Wellington Point	Birkdale / Wellington Point	-27.492937, 153.229345	Area on the boundary of present-day Birkdale and Wellington Point. The name appears to derive from an orchard and plant nursery called The Badgens established by James Pink around 1886.[source] Badgen railway siding was established on the Cleveland railway line at Badgen Road in 1916 [source] (no longer there but can be seen on this 1925 map). Badgen Road still exists.
Balmoral Park Estate, Brisbane	Hawthorne Park area, Hawthorne	-27.46538, 153.06191	Balmoral Park Estate was developed in 1888 [source]. Street names associated with the estate are Dutton Street, Miles Street and Riding Road; this suggests that the park being referred to in the name is the present-day Hawthorne Park and not the present-day Balmoral Park further to the south. Not to be confused with the Balmoral Park Estate of the 1920s (see immediately below).
Balmoral Park Estate, Brisbane	Moorooka / Annerley / Yeronga / Yeerongpilly	-27.52599, 153.02987	The area was originally called Balmoral Park Estate when it was subdivided in 1926 [source]. However, in 1927, the Brisbane City Council renamed the area Clifton Hill to avoid confusion with the suburb of Balmoral [source]. A number of war service homes were built in this area. Today Clifton Hill is mostly within the suburb of Moorooka but some former Clifton Hill addresses might be within Annerley, Yeronga or Yeerongpilly (the still existing Clifton Road is right on the boundaries of these four suburbs). Not to be confused with the Balmoral Park Estate of the 1880s (see immediately above).
Banoon, Brisbane	Sunnybank	-27.57608, 153.04641	A locality now absorbed into Sunnybank area. [source][source] There is a Banoon railway station still.
Banyan	Tully	-17.9330, 145.9234	[source]
Barolin Marine Town	Burnett Heads	-24.7689, 152.4135	Originally surveyed as Wallace in the 1870s, it was renamed Barolin Marine in the 1880s, and then Burnett Heads [source][source]
Beauaraba, near Toowoomba	Pittsworth	-27.718, 151.636	Renamed to avoid confusion with Buarba near Gatton [source]
Bellevue	Coominya	-27.392, 152.502	The name Bellevue came from a local selection of the Wivenhoe pastoral station and was the name given to the railway siding in 1886. But when the town was surveyed in 1905, it was named Coominya (an Aboriginal word meaning "view of water" to avoid confusion with the Bellevue property. [source][source]
Belmont, Brisbane	Carindale	-27.50281, 153.11392	A locality name now absorbed into the suburb of Carindale.
Bergen, Bergenside	Bergen	-27.2597, 151.8860	It is claimed that Bergen was renamed Murra Murra and Bergenside was renamed Neuve during World War 1. [source] However, Bergen appears on the maps today and Bergenside, Murra Murra and Neuve don't. There is a Neuve Bergen Road near Bergen and there is this newspaper reference that suggests that Bergen may have been renamed Neuve.
Bethany, near Logan River	Bethania	-27.691, 153.161	Named by Lutheran pastor Hellmuth after the biblical town of Bethany. [source]
Bigge's Camp	Grandchester	-27.6595, 152.468	Renamed around 1860s [source][source] The story is that Governor Bowen (who studied the classics) proposed it as a Latin-ised version of the original name.
Billy's Creek, near Clermont	Bulliwalla		[source] Bulliwalla does not appear on current maps.
Bindha, Brisbane	Northgate	-27.3815, 153.0735	A locality name now absorbed into the suburb of Northgate [source][source][source]. There is still a Bindha railway station [source]
Bingham, Hervey Bay area	River Heads	-25.4133, 152.9136	The town of Bingham was renamed River Heads in 1986. Bingham persists as a parish name. This 1977 map shows the town as Bingham.
Bismarck	Maclagan	-27.0842, 151.637	Town renamed in 1916 as part of the anti-German sentiment of World War 1 [source][source]
Blumbergville	Boonah	-27.9972, 152.6824	Renamed about 1888. [source][source][source]
Bodalla, near Childers	Apple Tree Creek	-25.2248, 152.2356	Officially renamed in 1962 [source] but the name Apple Tree Creek appears to have been in common use since the 1880s. Indeed, I can find very little evidence that the name Bodalla was used at all. From this 1889 newspaper article [source], I presume that it was creek that was called Apple Tree and that the village near the creek was called Bodalla. The old name is preserved by Bodalla Street.
Boggy Creek, Brisbane	Pinkenba	-27.3965, 153.1349	Boggy Creek was officially renamed Myrtle in 1888 [source] but the name seems to have quickly morphed into Myrtletown by 1928 [source]. Later it was absorbed into the suburb of Pinkenba. [source][source] There is still a creek called Boggy Creek flowing into the Brisbane River in this area. Notwithstanding the shared suburb name, Myrtletown remains a distinct industrial area from the Pinkenba residential area. The Main Myrtletown Road leads from Pinkenba to Myrtletown.
Bonner's Nob Bonner's Knob	Taroom	-25.6417, 149.7941	According to Pugh's 1870 Almanac (page 219), Taroom was formerly known as Bonner's Nob, but it is unclear when the name change occurred.The town of Taroom was gazetted in 1860. However, this 1861 newspaper article describes Bonner's Nob as being 8 miles from Taroom, so it is not clear if Bonner's Nob was renamed or is a place name that simply fell into disuse due to the greater prominence of Taroom.
Boolboonda	Mount Perry	-25.1810, 151.6454	Mt Perry was originally called Boolboonda, but now Boolboonda is a nearby town [source]
Booningba, Gold Coast	West Burleigh	-28.112462, 153.441326	There was a railway station and a township of this name near the crossing of Tallebudgera Creek. Renamed 1915 [source][source]. West Burleigh is now a locality name within the suburb of Burleigh Heads.
Bowen Bridge, Brisbane	Herston	-27.446010, 153.030002	A locality now absorbed into the suburb of Herston [source]
Bowen Park, Brisbane	Bowen Hills	-27.44844, 153.02996	Bowen Park was originally the area bounded by Bowen Bridge Road, O'Connell Terrace, Brookes Street and Gregory Terrace. Most of the land now forms part of the Exhibition Grounds but a small park (still called Bowen Park) remains in the north-west corner. [source] There was once a railway station named Bowen Park on the line between Roma Street and Mayne via the exhibition. [source: private correspondence]
Box Flat, near Mount Morgan	Maranu		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source]. Maranu does not appear on current maps, but there are numerous newspaper references and there was a railway station there [source]
Bracefield Cape	Noosa	-26.3876, 153.0923	It had been renamed prior to 1892. [source]
Brandy Gully, near Ipswich	Lanefield	-27.81089, 152.71288	Brandy Gully is an officially named creek that flows into Western Creek. It seems to have given its name (historically) to the the area north of the railway line in present-day Lanefield.
Breakfast Creek, Brisbane	Albion / Hamilton	-27.4386, 153.0495	The area on the northern side of Breakfast Creek Bridge (over the creek of the same name) was known as Breakfast Creek. The western part of the area is now in Albion and the eastern part in Hamilton. It appears in a 1975 street directory. The name persists through the Breakfast Creek Hotel.
Bribie View, north of Caboolture	Donnybrook	-27.0047, 153.0700	Both names appear on a 1941 map and in news reporting e.g. 1925 [source], 1939 [source]. The name presumably refers to the fact that you can see Bribie Island from the coast at Donnybrook. Both the names Bribie View and Donnybrook are used in the electoral rolls until 1941, after which only Donnybrook is used.
Brisbane Valley Junction, near Ipswich	Wulkuraka	-27.6117, 152.7252	[source] The name Brisbane Valley Junction was possibly the name of the railway station as there is a railway junction there.
Broughton Estate, Brisbane	Toowong / Taringa	-27.48668, 152.97700	A suburban subdivision on an 1895 map that was bounded to the south by Stanley Terrace and to the north by Toowong Creek and included Clower Street (now Gower Street), Camp Street, Duke Street and Grosvenor Street (now Bywong Street) all running north-south and Exmouth Street, Water Street (now part of Orchard Street), and Market Street running east-west. It includes a market reserve which is now Westbrook Park. Most of the estate is within present-day Toowong but the properties on Stanley Terrace are mostly within present-day Taringa.
Brown's Inn, near Warwick	Inglewood	-28.417, 151.081	Renamed prior to 1936 [source]
Bulimba (north of the river), Brisbane	Teneriffe / Newstead	-27.45185, 153.04785	For some mysterious reason, the suburb name Bulimba was once used on both the north and south side of the river (perhaps because that section of the river is known as Bulimba Reach). Eventually its use on the north side was abandoned and that area is now known as Teneriffe or Newstead. The name on the north side appears to have been sufficiently official that they called the branch railway line there, the Bulimba branch railway line.
Bulimba East, Brisbane	Balmoral	-27.4598, 153.0643	A locality name now absorbed into the suburb of Balmoral.
Bulwer Island, Brisbane River	Pinkenba	-27.409722, 153.136389	Bulwer Island was once an island in the lower reaches of the Brisbane River (see this 1889 map). However, the various islands and the silt pouring from various creeks made navigation of the River very difficult for by larger ships, so a major project was undertaken to create a straighter and deeper (but narrower) river by removing islands (either by removing them or incorporating them into a new river bank through the use of "training walls") and redirecting the angle of outflow of various creeks. The Hamilton area through to Bulwer Island had a number of training walls constructed which eventually silted up to form a new riverbank and this process can be seen on this 1925 map where the southern tip has now silted up to connect it to the mainland and the western side is now the diverted Boggy Creek rather than the Brisbane River.
Bundamba Creek, Ipswich	Blackstone	-27.6251, 152.7984	Renamed to avoid confusion with nearby Bundamba [source]
Bundanba, Ipswich	Bundamba	-27.6090, 152.8117	Spelling officially changed in 1932. [source]
Bunour, Brisbane	Eagle Farm /Pinkenba	-27.428333, 153.097778	Listed in a 1975 street directory as suburb/locality name, it takes its name from the former Bunour railway station on the Pinkenba railway line. The station opened in 1949 to provide commuter services for workers in the surrounding industrial area and closed in 1993.[source] As often happened, the area near the railway station informally acquired the railway station's name.
Buranda, Brisbane	Woollongabba	-27.49327, 153.04120	The locality of Buranda was absorbed into the suburb of Woolloongabba. [source] However there is a still a Buranda railway station and a Buranda Street.
Burnett Swamp, Brisbane	Stones Corner, Greenslopes	-27.49863, 153.04455	Originally known as Burnett Swamp (probably linked to the frequent flooding of Norman Creek at that point). [source] Later it became the suburb of Stones Corner, now a locality officially absorbed into the suburb of Greenslopes [source] but which retained a strong identity through the shopping precinct and hotel, leading to its reinstatement as a suburb in 2017.[source]
Burnside, near Laidley	Mulgowie	-27.7290, 152.3646	Burnside appears to have acquired the name Mulgowie when the railway station was built in 1911 [source]
Burrumba	Buxton (gone)	-25.2000, 152.5431	Burrumba was a planned town in a bend in the Isis River that failed to develop. Its street grid can be seen in this 1920 map. As at 2023 , the land is with the locality of Buxton and is currently used for grazing.
Burton, near Toowoomba	gone	-27.548, 151.756	There was a Burton State School from 1900 to 1944 [source] and people are listed as living in Burton in the electoral rolls until about 1949. The area is now regarded as part of Biddleston. The coordinates for Burton come from this 1975 map.
C
Cabbage-Tree Creek	Boondall	-27.33796, 153.05736	A locality name now absorbed into the suburb of Boondall. [source]
Cachen Gate	Aratula	-27.9814, 152.5496	[source]
Calbar Heights, Brisbane	Burbank	-27.531151, 153.165244	Land sales occurred in Calbar Heights in 1972-3 [source][source p128] and the suburb was listed in a 1975 street directory but is not listed in a 1990 street directory.
Calliungal	Mount Morgan	-23.6434, 150.3891	Renamed in 1888 [source]
Campbell's Gully, near Ipswich	Walloon	-27.6048, 152.6660	Walloon was previously known as Five Mile, Five Mile Waters, Guilfoyles Creek, Campbellâ€™s Gully and Ten Mile Peg. [source]
Canningtown	Warwick	-28.2141, 152.0368	[source]
Canterbury, west of Windorah	Canterbury	-25.3771, 141.8986	Although still an official place name, Canterbury does not appear on many current maps. It has streets mapped out but there are no sign of any buildings. [source]
Capalaba West	Chandler	-27.5152, 153.1896	Capalaba West was a suburb to the west of Tingalpa Creek from the suburb of Capalaba. As Capalaba West was in the City of Brisbane and Capalaba was in the City of Redland, this caused some confusion. So in 2010, Capalaba West was officially absorbed into neighbouring Chandler and now comprises the western part of Chandler.[source][source] The historic town of Capalaba (originally called Tingalpa in 1863) was on the western side of the creek (-27.51750, 153.1817),[source] and since the town remains officially gazetted, it too is now in Chandler, but there is now virtually no remains of the historic town centre. The town of Tingalpa can be seen to the west of the creek in this 1893 map.
Carmilla Creek, Carmilla	Carmila	-21.9105, 149.4109	Proposed to be renamed Meribah in 1890 [source] but I can find no evidence that this name change occurred. However, the spelling appears to have changed over time.
Carters Gate	Aratula	-27.9811, 152.5484	The area was known as Carters Gate, until the railway station was called Aratula. Probably renamed around 1915. [source]
Castle Creek	Theodore	-24.9464, 150.0757	Renamed about 1925. [source]

Chirn Park, Gold Coast	Labrador/Southport	-27.9554, 153.4005	In 1951 the South Coast Town Council decided to name an area in "north west Southport" after Mr Walter George Chirn of Turpin Road, whose land was acquired to build a hall, a tennis court and to beautify the area.[source] This is presumably the park still called Chirn Park in Labrador close to the boundary with Southport, as well as adjacent streets called Chirn Lane and Chirn Crescent. There are people in the 1969 electoral roll living in Musgrave Avenue using Chirn Park as a suburb name. Although not an official place name, he name persists in that area in the names of a number of businesses.
City View Estate, Brisbane	Greenslopes (part of)	-27.50901, 153.04635	City View Estate is that part of Greenslopes on and around Ridge Street. The City View name was still in use as late as 1931. [source]
Clapham, Brisbane	Moorooka	-27.53539, 153.01309	A locality absorbed in Moorooka [source][source]. Clapham Railway Yards are immediately to the west of Moorooka station so Clapham was most likely in that area. Map references are approximate
Clapham Junction, Brisbane	Banyo	-27.37868, 153.07487	Clapman Junction was a residential subdivision south of the Banyo Railway Station, created in 1884. [source] See this map (North is downwards), noting hat Bishopsgate Road on the west of the subdivision (shown on the left-hand side of the map) no longer exists (it ran parallel to Earnshaw Road but closer to the railway line and is now absorbed into the industrial estate). The name Clapham Junction reflects the belief/hope that the North Coast railway line would diverge around this area, although it eventually diverged at Northgate railway station.
Clarence Corner, Brisbane	area near the intersection of Annerley Road and Stanley Street	-27.48572, 153.02922	A locality named after the Clarence Hotel that sits on the south-east corner of that intersection (or vice versa?)
Clifton Hill, Brisbane	Moorooka / Annerley / Yeronga / Yeerongpilly	-27.52599, 153.02987	The area was originally called Balmoral Park Estate when it was subdivided in 1926 [source]. However, in 1927, the Brisbane City Council renamed the area Clifton Hill to avoid confusion with the suburb of Balmoral [source]. A number of war service homes were built in this area. Today Clifton Hill is mostly within the suburb of Moorooka but some former Clifton Hill addresses might be within Annerley, Yeronga or Yeerongpilly (the still existing Clifton Road is right on the boundaries of these four suburbs).
Clinton North, Shire of Calliope	Clinton, Gladstone Region	-23.8773, 151.2130	On 28 November 1988 it was decided that the areas known as Clinton North and Clinton South within the Shire of Calliope would be amalgamated as Clinton and be placed within the City of Gladstone (now Gladstone Region). [QSA] This 1985 map suggests that Clinton North was north of the Dawson Highway and Clinton South to the south.
Clinton South, Shire of Calliope	Clinton, Gladstone Region	-23.8855, 151.2190	On 28 November 1988 it was decided that the areas known as Clinton North and Clinton South within the Shire of Calliope would be amalgamated as Clinton and be placed within the City of Gladstone (now Gladstone Region).

Colledges Crossing, Brisbane / Ipswich	Colleges Crossing	-27.55742, 152.80341	The original name was Colledges Crossing, apparently after a local family of that name, but the spelling has been corrupted. The change appears to have occurred very gradually, as the latest use of Colledges Crossing in the digitised newspapers is 1942 [source] but the earliest use of Colleges Crossing is 1894 [source].
Cooksland	Queensland		The Rev John Dunmore Lang proposed that the northern part of the Colony of New South Wales should be an independent colony called Cooksland [source]. He also proposed a Colony of Phillipsland in the south. Both colonies were eventually established but called Queensland [source] and Victoria, after Queen Victoria.
Coorindah, north of Gympie	Theebine	-25.9541, 152.5346	Originally a town called Coorindah was surveyed in 1886 and was renamed Theebine in 1895. The area also was known as Slaty Creek (the local creek) and Kilkivan Junction (because of the railway branch line to Kilkivan left the main line here) [source][source]
Cooroy West, Sunshine Coast hinterland	Black Mountain / Cooroy	-26.4489, 152.8685	Can be seen in this 1942 map.

Craigslea, Brisbane	Chermside West	-27.3837, 153.0165	It is unclear if Craigslea was ever an official name; most likely it was an estate name. The name persists in the local primary and secondary schools as well as in various local businesses.

Today there are still streets visible on the map (if you zoom in) but there appears nothing still standing apart from the Cumberland Chimney, the remains of a crushing mill. Today, Cumberland is the official name of the parish in that area, but there is no officially-named town any more [source]. I can find a few people listing Cumberland as their address in the electoral roll as late as 1941 but there is nobody there in 1949. Note, the township of Cumberland is not to be confused with Cumberland Mine near Charters Towers.
Cunningham, near Charters Towers	Mingela	-19.8783, 146.6335	Although the town was officially named Cunningham when the allotments were first sold in 1882 [source], it appears to have been commonly known as Ravenswood Junction, being located at the turn-off to Ravenswood. In 1915, Cunningham was renamed Mingela. [source]

Diecks	Bowen	-20.1230, 148.2396	Diecks was renamed Mookarra on or before 1918. [source] Today the name Mookarra only exists as the name of a railway station but it was not unusual for a railway station to have the same name as the locality that surrounds it. The locality name for that area is now Bowen, but Diecks / Mookarra is about 12 km south of the town of Bowen.

In 1889, a postal receiving office was opened and called Elston (after Elston in Nottinghamshire, England which was the home town of the postmaster's wife). In 1917 there was a land sale conducted by Arthur Blackstone called the Surfers Paradise Estate, possibly named by a surveyor Thor Jensen. Although the land sale was not a success, James Cavill liked the name and successfully lobbied to change the name from Elston to Surfers Paradise in 1933. [source][source]

Gallanani	Esk	-27.2404, 152.4221	In 1878, the Queensland Government was selling town and suburban lots in the town of Gallanani in the parish of Esk.

Happy Valley, Brisbane	Stafford	-27.4092, 153.0077	Stafford was originally called Happy Valley but was renamed in the 1880s. [source] The Queensland Place Names entry suggests the change was in 1885-6. The first use in the electoral rolls that I could find was in 1889.
Hapsburg	Kowbi	-25.1808, 152.2325	Renamed due to anti-German sentiment in World War 1. [source] While Kowbi is still an official neighbourhood name [source], neither appear on current maps, although a Hapsburg road exists leading to what appears to be the defunct Kowbi railway station (the outline of the station is visible on a close-up of the map).

Hillside, Brisbane Valley	Coolana	-27.5153, 152.5511	According to the Queensland Place Names database entry for Coolana, it was formerly known as Hillside and changed to Coolana in 1945. However, the change appears to have occurred much earlier. The 1913 electoral roll shows people registered in Hillside and nobody registered in Coolana, but the 1922 electoral roll show only a handful of people registered in Hillside and many people registered in Coolana, so the name change would appear to have occurred between those dates. I found this 1918 Commonwealth gazette entry lists the name change, so it probably occurred not long before 1918. Note there were other places called Hillside in Queensland in those electoral rolls, so not everywhere called Hillside is now called Coolana.
Home Creek, via Wondai	Cushnie	-26.3660, 151.7704	Home Creek appears on this 1943 map. It is used as place of residence in the electoral rolls from at least 1906 to 1969.

Indooroopilly (part of), Brisbane	St Lucia	-27.4977, 153.0036	Formerly known as Indooroopilly, Toowong and Toowong South, the name St Lucia was first used by William Alexander Wilson in 1882 when he purchased a sugar mill and from William Dart (on Mill Road) and renamed it The St Lucia Sugar Plantation [source: Articles of Association St Lucia Riverside Land and Investment Co Ltd, Queensland State Archives]. In 1883 Wilson and Dart offered an adjoing farm for sale as residential alllotements and named it "St Lucia Estate" [source]. The plantation was subdivided in 1885 and was also known as the St Lucia estate [source]. Only the peninsula area was originally known as St Lucia; it was not until 1975 that the current suburb of St Lucia was created [source: Peter Brown, St Lucia History Group].
Inkerman	Home Hill	-19.6605, 147.4141	The area was originally known as Inkerman because of the Inkerman Downs cattle station there, but when the town allotments were offered for sale in December 1912, the township was called Home Hill [source] but also referered to as Holme Hill. The Queensland Government claim the name Home Hill was chosen because it was the location of the Battle of Inkerman in the Crimean War in 1854. [source] There is also a claim that it refers to Colonel Home who fought in Crimean War. [source] For more information on Home Hill in the Battle of Inkerman, please read this Wikipedia article.
Innis Island	Coochiemudlo Island	-27.5692, 153.3311	Known as Innis Island from 1825 to 1850. [source] Note that you will also find the name spelled in a number of different ways, e.g. "Coochy" rather than "Coochie", "Mudlo" may appear as a separate word, the "Island" word is dropped etc. However, they all appear to refer to the same place.
Ipswich Agricultural Reserve	Harrisville	-27.8108, 152.6675	Renamed [source]
Ironside, Brisbane	St Lucia (one part of) St Lucia (another part of)	-27.49424, 153.00015 -27.50011, 152.99655	Ironside Estate was subdivided for housing in 1885 [source] by William Alexander Wilson and comprised land between Carmody Road and north to the Brisbane River (in the area of the current Guyatt Park). Ironside was the maiden name of Wilson's wife. Although not located within the Ironside Estate, the nearby state school was renamed Ironside State School in 1905 (and is still known by that name today). In 1922 land around the school was developed for housing under the name St Lucia Heights Estate [source], but due to the school's name, it was this area that became commonly known as Ironside. A 1917 map shows the Ironside name located around the Swann Road area, while the original Ironside Estate area is shown under the name St Lucia. Wherever it precisely was located, Ironside was absorbed into the suburb of St Lucia in the 1975 Place Names Act [source: Peter Brown, St Lucia History Group].

Juandah, north of Miles	Wandoan	-26.1259, 149.9634	Originally named after the property Juandah Station, it was renamed in 1926 to avoid confusion with the town of Jundah. [source][source]
Jubilee / Jubilee Estate / Jubilee Township Estate, Brisbane	Bardon	-27.4531, 152.9856	The first tranche of the Jubilee Township Estate was subdivided in 1887 with a subsequent 2nd tranche and this locality has now been absorbed into the suburb of Bardon. It was all the land bounded by Jubilee Terrace, Coopers Camp Road, and Ithaca Creek. [land sale map 1][land sale map 2][source][source]. Warning: the two land sale maps do not have North upwards (be prepared to rotate them so Coronation Street is at the top of the first map and the bottom of the second map). The name Jubilee refers to the 1887 Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria (who ascended to the throne 50 years earlier in 1837). Most of the original streets in Jubilee had names with royal associations, e.g. Coronation Street, Crown Street, but some have been subsequently renamed.
K
Kalbar, Bundaberg Region	South Kolan	24.940, 52.247	There was a Kalbar Provisional / State School from 1896 to 1962. It takes its name from the Kalbar sugar plantation and sugar mill. Kalbar Road still bears the name.[source][source] (Not to be confused with Kalbar in the Scenic Rim Region).
Kalinga, Brisbane	Wooloowin	-27.4062, 153.0496	Kalinga is a locality name from about 1900 [source] now absorbed into the suburb of Wooloowin [source][source][source] However, in

Keelar, near Gympie	Gunalda	-25.9944, 152.5614	Originally the town was called Keelar but the railway station was named Gunalda. The town was officially renamed Gunalda on 2 November 1923.[source] However, it is evident that even the government was using both names to avoid confusion at least as early as 1910.[source]
Kelvin Grove Estate, Brisbane	Newmarket	-27.4367, 153.0068	Originally Brisbane saleyards, Kelvin Grove Estate (near corner of Kelvin Grove Road and Newmarket Road) was developed in 1936 [source], now absorbed into Newmarket.

Kilkivan Junction, north of Gympie	Theebine	-25.9541, 152.5346	Originally a town called Coorindah was surveyed in 1886 and was renamed Theebine in 1895. The area also was known as Slaty Creek (the local creek) and Kilkivan Junction (because of the railway branch line to Kilkivan left the main line here) [source][source]
Kirchheim / Kircheim	Haigslea	-27.5621, 152.5977	Originally Walloon Creek, later Kirchheim. In 1916, the name of the school was change from Kirchheim to Haigslea, presumably as part of anti-German sentiment in World War 1. [source][source]

Landers Pocket	Brisbane Airport	-27.3833, 153.1167	The area was settled by 1875 but appears to have had problems with flooding. [source] Landers Pocket Market Garden Estate was a subdivision sold in 1915 to small farmers. [source] Landers Pocket can be seen on this 1925 map. It appears by the 1950s Landers Pocket was being considered for the expansion of the airport (the then Eagle Farm Airport being to the south of the current airport). [source] Circa 1950s Ainsley Judge at radio station 4BH had built Australia’s first directional AM Transmission array on 1390 Khz at Landers Pocket. [source][source p67] In 1971 land in Landers Pocket was resumed for the new Brisbane Airport. [source] Landers Pocket still appears in a 1975 street directory, but the subsequent construction of the current Brisbane Airport has obliterated almost all traces of any of its former geographic features. Landers Pocket appears to have been accessible from the west via Raubers Road and Buchanan Road (both still in Banyo) which led to Landers Pocket Road or from the south via Sugarmill Road (still in in Pinkenba) which led to Main Road in Landers Pocket. The name lives on through the Landers Pocket Drain which now channels the water of the various creeks that once ran through the airport land into Moreton Bay. [source] Electoral rolls from 1922 to show occupations mostly as farmers and gardeners as well as a number of horse trainers, suggesting it remained a rural area.

Lilley Estate, Toowoomba	East Toowoomba, near Lilley Street	-27.55466, 151.96628	The Lilley Estate was sold in 1902 [source]. See the estate map. Although the estate map mentions the adjacaent Agricultural Show Grounds, the show grounds have been relocated subsequently to Glendale.

M
MacAlister's Crossing, near Ipswich	Woodend		There is an 1860 reference to McAlister's Crossing. It is believed to be somewhere along the Bremer River. As Thomas MacAlister had a house Woodend near the river from which the suburbs Woodend takes its name [source], I suspect that McAlister's Crossing is a reference to the Woodend area. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Maclean, south of Brisbane	North Maclean South Maclean	-27.7659, 152.9976 -27.7914, 152.9990	Around 1860 it was known as Logan Bridge (as it was crossing the Logan River), then it was known as Maclean, then recently split into North Maclean and South Maclean. [Logan City Council]

McAlister's Crossing, near Ipswich	Woodend		There is an 1860 reference to McAlister's Crossing. It is believed to be somewhere along the Bremer River. As Thomas MacAlister had a house Woodend near the river from which the suburb Woodend takes its name [source], I suspect that McAlister's Crossing is a reference to the Woodend area. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
McDonald Camp, on the Darling Downs	Nobby		McDonald Camp was the original name, it was changed to Nobby, then to Davenport in 1891 [source] and then back to Nobby. [source]
McKeown	Calvert	-27.6639, 152.5160	Originally known as McKeown, then as Western Creek (1877-1887), then as Alfred (1887-1931), finally renamed Calvert in 1931 [source][source][source]
Meeandah, Brisbane	Eagle Farm		A locality now absorbed into the suburb of Eagle Farm [source]. There is still a railway station by that name.
Meribah	Carmila	-21.910, 149.411	Carmilla (aka Carmilla Creek) was proposed to be renamed Meribah in 1890 [source] but I can find no evidence that this name change occurred. However, the spelling appears to have changed over time to Carmila.
Merthyr, Brisbane	New Farm	-27.4667, 153.0472	A locality now absorbed into the suburb of New Farm [source]. The Merthyr name persists strongly in Merthyr Road, Merthyr Shopping Village and many local businesses.

Moggill (parts of), Brisbane	Anstead, Bellbowrie		Once a farming district, its redevelopment lead to the introduction of suburbs such as Anstead and Bellbowrie. However, Moggill still exists today but does not refer to as large an area as before.
Mookarra	Bowen	-20.1230, 148.2396	Diecks was renamed Mookarra on or before 1918. [source] Today the name Mookarra only exists as the name of a railway station but it was not unusual for a railway station to have the same name as the locality that surrounds it. Mookarra appears as a district name on this 1936 map and is used as an address for the electoral roll through to at least 1969. The locality name for that area is now Bowen, but Diecks / Mookarra is about 12 km south of the town of Bowen.

A number of the shops and businesses in that area still have Moorvale as part of their name and there is a bus stop called Moorvale. The Moorvale Post Office was renamed Moorooka Post Office at some time in the 1970s [source]. Moorvale appears in a 1975 street directory. The earliest reference I can find to Moorvale is a 1942 funeral notice for a family living in Mayfield Road [source].
Mossdale, Brisbane	Gumdale		The area was originally known as Mossdale, the name of a grazing property [source][source]
Mossman River	Mossman		Mossman was originally known as Hartsville, then as Thooleer, and then as Mossman River. [source][source][source]

Mount Dangar	Bowen	approx -20.2063,148.1267	Upper Don was renamed Mount Dangar by 1918. [source] It is now within the locality of Bowen. The exact location of this district is unclear. The mountain Mount Dangar (-20.2247, 148.1108) and the Upper Don State School (-20.1830,148.1243) are to the west of the Don River, while Mount Dangar Post Office and the Mount Dangar pastoral property are to the east of the Don River.
Mount Esk Pocket	Crossdale	-27.17524, 152.49053	Appears on this 1978 map. As "pocket" suggests, it was tucked in a bend of the Brisbane River. This area appears to have been resumed for the development of the Wivenhoe Dam and Lake Wivenhoe. While some of it is now underwater, other parts are still above water but appear to be inaccessible to the public.
Mount Pleasant, Brisbane	Holland Park	-27.514231, 153.056117	Appears on a 1926 street directory as a district name.
Mowbraytown, Brisbane	East Brisbane		A residential subdivision called Mowbraytown that is now in the suburb of East Brisbane. [source] [source]

Mulgrave, near Home Hill	Clare	-19.78423, 147.22768	Apparently renamed 1882 [source]. However, Mulgrave still appears as a locality about 15km SW of Clare.
Munro's Creek, Cairns Region	Deeral	-17.2167, 145.9167	[source] Munro's Creek is a tributary to the Mulgrave River in this area. The railway station was also known as Munro's Creek [QPN 39180] until changed to Deeral in 1908.[source] The name Deeral appears in the 1913 electoral roll but not the 1906 electoral roll.
Murphy's Waterhole	Murphy's Creek	-27.4602, 152.0527	[source]
Murra Murra	Bergen		It is claimed that Bergen was renamed Murra Murra during World War 1. [source] However, Bergen appears on the maps today and Murra Murra doesn't.

Myall Creek	Dalby		Renamed in 1854 [source]
Myrtle / Myrtletown, Brisbane	Pinkenba	-27.3880, 153.1400	Boggy Creek was officially renamed Myrtle in 1888 [source] but the name seems to have quickly morphed into Myrtletown by 1928 [source]. Later it was absorbed into the suburb of Pinkenba. [source][source] There is still a creek called Boggy Creek flowing into the Brisbane River in this area. Notwithstanding the shared suburb name, Myrtletown remains a distinct industrial area from the Pinkenba residential area. The Main Myrtletown Road leads from Pinkenba to Myrtletown.
N
Nashville, Gympie	Gympie	-26.1935, 152.6634	Gympie was originally known as Nashville after James Nash who discovered gold in the area.[source][source] Not to be confused with Nashville, a locality in Brisbane (see below).

National Park, Brisbane	Norman Park	-27.4838, 153.0691	From 1889 to the 1920s, residential land was sold in the National Park estate. This was land east of Bennetts Road and a few streets north and south of Macrossan Avenue. The name National Park was widely used as a suburb name by its residents (e.g. in the electorate roll) but appears not to be official as it did not appear in street directories. [source][source]
Near North Coast	Sunshine Coast		Renamed in 1967 but was first proposed in 1958 [source]
Nelson, near Cairns	Gordonvale	-17.0912, 145.7870	Originally called Mulgrave (presumably after the Mulgrave River than flows through the town), then Nelson in 1914 and finally Gordonvale which is now an outer suburb of Cairns [source][source][source]
Nerang Creek Heads	Southport	-27.9670, 153.4141	Originally known as Nerang Creek Heads, the area was officially survey in 1974 and renamed Southport in 1875, because it was the most southern port in Queensland and after the city of the same name in England. [source][source]
New Charlestone, near Cairns	Forsayth		Originally Finnigan's Camp, renamed Charleston in 1872, later Forsayth. It may also have been known as New Charleston at some point.[source][source][source]
Newtown (or New Town), Maryborough	Maryborough city centre	-25.5333, 152.7000	The original settlement of Maryborough occurred in a largely unplanned way from 1848 to 1855 about 4km north-west of the current city centre (-25.522, 152.669). However, it was a poor location for a port so when the town was officially surveyed, it was recommended that the town centre should be near the present Queen's Park and the first land sales occurred there in 1852. [source] The name "New Town" or "Newtown" evolved as a way to refer to this "new" Maryborough. The name persists in Newtown Oval.

One Eye Waterhole	Milbong	27.8833, 152.7322	Renamed in 1912 [source][source]. I assume this was an official renaming as both names can be found in use for many years prior to 1912. However, as Milbong is an Aboriginal word or name for a one-eyed man, this may be a case of the same name in two languages rather than a name change as such.
One Mile, Gympie	Gympie	-26.1999, 152.6749	The area approximately 1 mile south of Gympie was known as One Mile (shown on this 1976 map).The name is preserved in the One Mile State School, One Mile Park, etc. Today it is within the boundaries of the Gympie CBD.
One Mile Swamp, Brisbane	Stanley Street area, Woolloongabba	-27.4863, 153.0338	The land in this area was quite low-lying and swampy originally, giving rise to the name One Mile Swamp. This 1923 article provides a quite detailed description of where the swamp was. I don't think One Mile Swamp was ever officially named, but the name seems to have been in common conetemporary use in the newspapers until early 1890s, then it disappears, and in 1900s its use seems to be of a historical nature.
Oxford Estate, Brisbane	Paddington		Locality now absorbed into Paddington [source]
Oxford Park, Brisbane	Mitchelton		A locality absorbed into the suburb of Mitchelton [source][source]. The name persists through a railway station.
Oxley (part of), Brisbane	Archerfield		The part of Oxley set aside for noxious industries was renamed Archerfield in 1929 [source]

Petrie Terrace, Brisbane	Spring Hill	-27.463, 153.013	A locality officially absorbed into the suburb of Spring Hill [source], but its identity strongly persisted as Petrie Terrace is a major road. Re-instated as a suburb in 2010.
Philadelphia	Eagleby	-27.703,153.185	Eagleby was then another farming community established as part of the initial German settlement of the region. It was originally known as Philadelphia. St John's Church, Philadelphia, was built in 1876. The old town subdivision was not utilised at the time and development occurred on the rural properties, with the church located on Herses Road. The first mail office was established at Oppermann's farmhouse in July 1882.[source]
Pimlico, Logan River	Waterford West	-27.691, 153.1312	Arthur Pimm purchased land south of the Tygum Lagoon and in 1865 he subdivided it to become the town of Pimlico, which he advertised for sale in 1866. [source] It does not appear to have been successful. [source]
Pinbarren siding	Pomona		Renamed in 1906 [source][source]. There is a nearby village still called Pinbarren.
Pine Ridge, Gold Coast	Hollywell	-27.9000, 153.3928	The name Pine Ridge appears on a 1926 map. The earliest use of the name Hollywell I have found is in a 1934 electoral roll for the Proud family who were resident and used it as the name of their house in that area. The name persists in the Pine Ridge Conservation Park and Pine Ridge Road which is shown in a 1978 map as extending along the current Oxley Drive through to the current Paradise Road in Paradise Point.
Plane Creek	Sarina	-21.4242, 149.2172	[source]
Plough Station, Ipswich	Raceview	-27.6377, 152.7760	[source]
Polson	Pialba	-25.2803, 152.8406	Name was officially changed on 19 March 1931. [source] The name Polson persisted through Polson cemetery (now within the modern neighbouring suburb of Point Vernon).
Poona, near Nambour			Although there is a Poona in the Fraser Coast Region, there appears to have been another one near Nambour. There was the Poona State School (1915-1933) "via Nambour" as well as some electoral roll entries as Poona via Nambour. There are mentions of it as "North Coast line" (suggesting it is near the railway line) and being near Yandina [source]. There are addresses of Poona Road, Nambour (presumably the road from Nambour to Poona). It is mentioned in connection with Kiamba. [source] There is a Poona Dam in Kureelpa. There is mention of Holland's Hill being near Poona. Can you help with the location of Poona?
Port Bundaberg	Burnett Heads	-24.7754, 152.3879
Port Kennedy	southern harbour on Thursday Island	-10.5849, 142.2203	Established in 1878, Port Kennedy was first official European settlement on the southern side of Thursday Island.

R
Raby Estate, Brisbane	Coorparoo		The Raby Estate was sold in 1884 [source] and was located on Old Cleveland Road "only a few chains from Logan Road". There is a Raby Street currently in this area, which I imagine would once have been part of or adjacent to the estate.
Rainworth & Rainworth Estate, Brisbane	Bardon	-27.46910, 152.98788	Originally there was a house with large lands on Boundary Street, Rosalie (now Toowong), called "Rainworth" owned by Sir Augustus Charles Gregory, Qld Surveyor-General; it was named after the town of Rainworth near his birthplace in Nottinghamshire, England.

Ravenswood Junction, near Charters Towers	Mingela	-19.8783, 146.6335	Although the town was officially named Cunningham when the allotments were first sold in 1882 [source], it appears to have been commonly known as Ravenswood Junction, being located at the turn-off to Ravenswood. In 1915, Cunningham was renamed Mingela. [source]
Razorback, Sunshine Coast hinterland	Montville	-26.6906, 152.8933	Renamed 1897. [QPN Montville population centre][source]. The name Razorback persists in Razorback Road.

[source] The railway siding on the line was originally called Richmond siding, but was renamed Freshwater siding in 1890. [source]
Richter Estate, Brisbane	Annerley	-27.51811, 153.03125	A real estate subdivision in Annerley, Brisbane, centred on Devon Street (originally known as Richter Street) between Ferndale Street and Cracknell Road. See this 1889 real estate map and this 1895 map to see it in context. First advertising of the estate I could find was October 1888 [source].

Rosewood Scrub			Described in 1873 as "This district extends for about fifteen miles along the northern side of the Southern and Western Railway, with an average width of about seven miles, and comprises some of the finest agricultural soil in the colony". It goes on to mentions place names such as Glamorgan Vale, Brandy Gully (Lanefield), Walloon, Rosewood Gate (Rosewood). [source] Marburg seems to be regarded as its centre (see below).
Rosewood Scrub	Marburg	-27.5643, 152.5975	Marburg was known by a succession of names over the years: First Plain, Sally Owens’ Plains, Rosewood Scrub, Frederick, Marburg, Townshend and then Marburg (again). [Ipswich City Council][source]
Ross Island, Townsville	Railway Estate	-19.2710, 146.8156	It is not clear to me if this is a "renaming" of a suburb as such, or whether the creation of a housing estate on Ross Island warranted a separate name for the suburb. Certainly the island (as a geographical feature) is still officially called Ross Island. The earliest reference I can find to Railway Estate is newspaper advertisements for sale of land in 1887. [source][source][source][source][source]
Ross Park / Rosspark	Rossvale	-27.6310, 151.5775	I cannot find a map which uses the name Ross Park or Rosspark, but it appears the electoral rolls, as the name of the local Lutheran Church, etc. It is s described as "via Mount Tyson" and "via Springside", all of which point to Rossvale as we know it today.
Rossvale, in the Fassifern district	Rosevale	-27.8656, 152.4891	The original name of Rossvale was corrupted into Rosevale [source]. There is another Rossvale which is west of Toowoomba.

Sherry Gully	Cherry Gully		Renamed before 1900 [source]
Skyring Creek, near	Federal	-26.40028, 152.80417	Originally named after pioneer brothers Zachariah and Daniel Skyring who established cattle runs in the district circa 1853. In 1905-6, a group of selectors from Federal, New South Wales, settled in the area and it became known as Federal.[source p13][source] The name Skyring Creek persists in the area as the name of the creek itself and Skyring Creek Road.
Slaty Creek, north of Gympie	Theebine	-25.9541, 152.5346	Originally a town called Coorindah was surveyed in 1886 and was renamed Theebine in 1895. The area also was known as Slaty Creek (the local creek) and Kilkivan Junction (because of the railway branch line to Kilkivan left the main line here) [source][source]
Smithfield Heights, Cairns	Smithfield	-16.8160, 145.6859	The north-western part of present day Smithfield (around the James Cook University campus) was previously known as Smithfield Heights. See Smithfield Heights on this 1987 map.

Springdale, near Gatton	Adare, Lake Clarendon, Spring Creek	-27.4891,152.3424	There was a Springdale Provisional / State School (previously called Claredon Provisional School) in this area in the 1880s to 1909. Today the name persists in a Springdale pastoral property (corner of Gatton Esk Road and Miller Street) and the Gatton Springale Rural Fire Service (641 Gatton Esk Road, Adare), so the Springdale district appears to be on the intersection of the present day localities of Adare, Lake Clarendon and Spring Creek.
Springfield, south of Bundaberg	Elliott Heads	-24.9119, 152.4903	Originally known as Springfield, the town can be seen on this 1943 map. In 1967, its renamed in 1967 to Elliott Heads, reflecting its location at the mouth of the Elliott River. [QPN44230]. There is also another locality called Elliott further upstream on the Elliott River.
St John's Wood, Brisbane	Ashgrove		A locality absorbed into Ashgrove in 1975 [source]. The 1959 electoral roll associates the suburb name with St Johns Avenue and adjacent streets in the pocket of land bounded on 3 sides by Enoggera Creek. There is still a local scout troop by that name. The name West Ashgrove may be sometimes used for the former St John's Wood.
St Lucia Heights, Brisbane	St Lucia		Ironside Estate was subdivided for housing in 1885 [source] by William Alexander Wilson and comprised land between Carmody Road and north to the Brisbane River (in the area of the current Guyatt Park). Ironside was the maiden name of Wilson's wife. Although not located within the Ironside Estate, the nearby state school was renamed Ironside State School in 1905 (and is still known by that name today). In 1922 land around the school was developed for housing under the name St Lucia Heights Estate [source], but due to the school's name, this area that became commonly known as Ironside. A 1917 map shows the Ironside name located around the Swann Road area, while the original Ironside Estate area is shown under the name St Lucia. Wherever it precisely was located, Ironside was absorbed into the suburb of St Lucia in the 1975 Place Names Act [source: Peter Brown, St Lucia History Group].

Stegeht (Steiglitz?)	Woongoolba		Claimed to have been renamed due to anti-German sentiment in World War 1. [source] However, I cannot find any evidence of Stegeht existing. I think it may be referring to the renaming of the Steiglitz post office to Woongoolba in World War 1. [source] Note Woongoolba was not a new name; it was always the name of the area west of Steiglitz; both appear on current maps.
Stephens Paddock Estate, Brisbane	Highgate Hill	-27.48651, 153.02259	A real estate subdivision centred on Laura Street and bounded by Prospect Terrace to the north, Strath Street to the east, Gloucester Street to the south, and Bellevue Street (now Ruth Street) to the west.

Stones Corner, Brisbane	Greenslopes	-27.49863, 153.04455	Originally known as Burnett Swamp (probably linked to the frequent flooding of Norman Creek at that point). [source] Later it became the suburb of Stones Corner, now a locality officially absorbed into the suburb of Greenslopes [source] but which retains a strong identity through the shopping precinct and hotel.
Stoney Point, NW of Quilpie	Windorah		Township of Stoney Point was created in 1878, renamed Windorah in 1884 [source]
Summer Hill, south of Hattonvale	Summerholm		Renamed in 1945 to avoid confusion with Summer Hill in NSW. [source] Also written as two words Summer Holm.
Summer Hill Estate, Brisbane	Taringa / Indooroopilly	-27.49197, 152.97006	A suburban subdivision on an 1895 map. It shows the estate as being bounded by Goldsborough Road to the north, Hillsdon Road to the east, Waverley Road to the south, and Taringa Parade to the west. Most of the subdivision is within present-day Taringa except for some properties on Taringa Parade which are within Indooroopilly.
Surrey Hills Estate, Brisbane	Paddington	-27.4573, 152.9997	A suburban subdivision centred on Terrace Street, Paddington. [source] It is advertised for sale in 1883. [source] See it on this 1895 map.

T
Taringa Township Estate, Brisbane	Taringa	-27.49035, 152.98055	A suburban subdivision on an 1895 map. Its boundaries are a bit difficult to determine but it appears to be roughly bounded by Stanley Terrace to the north, Harrys Road to the east, Moggill Road and Walker Street to the south, and Mount Coot-tha Road (now Moorak Street) to the west. It including Frederick Street and Lillian Street (now Marmion Parade).
Tarranalma Estate, Brisbane	Clayfield	-27.4252, 153.0479	This estate was sold in 1911 and was said to be bounded by Christian Street, Milne Street and Sandgate Road (which might be a reference to Bonney Avenue which was formerly Old Sandgate Road). Tarranalma Avenue appears to have been created as part of the process of subdividing land that previously belonged to Tarranalam House. [source]
Ten Mile Peg, near Ipswich	Walloon	-27.6060, 152.6648	Walloon was previously known as Five Mile, Five Mile Waters, Guilfoyles Creek, Campbellâ€™s Gully and Ten Mile Peg. [source]

Terror's Creek, near Caboolture	Dayboro	-27.197, 152.823	In 1875 it was called Hamilton after the local postmaster Hugh Hamilton. In 1892 it was called Terror's Creek after a famous Arab stallion from the district, but that became confusing with Torrens Creek and it was renamed Dayboro in 1919 after an early settler called William Henry Day [source][source][source][source][source]
Teutoberg, near Maleny	Witta	-26.7180, 152.819	Renamed in 1916 presumably due to anti-German sentiment in World War 1. [source] There is a Teutoberg Avenue in the area today.
Teviot	Greenbank	-27.7217, 152.9865	A 1930 newspaper article suggests that Greenbank is the common name but that Teviot was used about 50 years ago (about 1880). [source] The name Teviot still appears in the district, e.g. Teviot Road (an old road) and in a new housing estate called Teviot Downs.
Teviotville	Coulson		Teviotville was supposedly renamed Coulson to avoid confusion with Teviot Brook [source] but both Teviotville and Coulson appear as neighbouring districts on current maps.
The Pocket, Pine Rivers area	Bald Hills	-27.30093, 153.03193	The Pocket was the name for the land between the Pine River (after the confluence of the North and South Pine Rivers) and Bald Hills Creek. In 1920 a large diary farm was resumed by the government to create a soldier settlement called Wyampa for around 25 returned soldiers to establish market gardens. [source][source] The Pocket is visible on this 1925 map. Like many soldier settlements, the families struggled struggled to support themselves on too small blocks of poor quality land (lacking fresh water and having salt marshes). [source][source][source pp224-231] Today there are only few riverside houses with Wyampa Road providing access to them but most of this area is now part of the Tinchi Tamba Wetland Reserve.
The Scrub	Lowood	-27.4664, 152.5781	Originally The Scrub, then Cornhill, then Lowood. [source]
The Springs, Brisbane	Tingalpa / Wakerley / Manly West	-27.4833, 153.1492	The Springs is variously described as being in Tingalpa [source] and Manly West [source]. The coordinates given by the Queensland Government place it in Wakerley [source], but as these are all nearby places, you get the general idea of where it was. It appears the area was also known as Green Camp. [source] It appears on this 1972 map as being just east of Hargreaves Road. The name dates back to at least 1916 when The Springs Methodist Church was opened on Manly Road.
Thompson Estate, Brisbane	Woolloongabba-Annerley-Greenslopes	-27.50127, 153.03807	A housing estate sold in 1881 which appears to be bounded by Ipswich Road, O'Keefe Street, Juliette Street and Junction Street (or creek beyond it). [source] There may have been later land sales for this estate. The name Thompson Estate was still in use in 1913. [source]
Thooleer	Mossman	-16.4611, 145.3733	Mossman was originally known as Hartsville, then as Thooleer, and then as Mossman River. [source][source][source]
Thorroldtown, Brisbane	Wooloowin	-27.4163, 153.0462	An old locality of Brisbane now absorbed into Wooloowin. [source][source][map]
Three Mile / Three Mile Creek, near Ipswich	Amberley	-27.6312, 152.7218	Amberley was originally settled by the Collett family at "Three Mile Creek". The name "Three Mile" appears to refer to the area three miles along on the Old Toowoomba Road from Ipswich. (Similarly, the existing suburb of "One Mile" is one mile along the Old Toowoomba Road from Ipswich). The name Three Mile persists in the Three Mile Bridge where the Old Toowoomba Road crosses the Bremer River, which is the boundary of the present day suburbs of Amberley, Leichhardt and One Mile. [source][source]
Three Mile Scrub, Brisbane	Newmarket	-27.4366, 153.0071	Newmarket was originally known as Three Mile Scrub (the distance from Brisbane) [source]
Thuanpine, near Quilpie	Toompine	-27.22077, 144.36230	Originally named Thuanpine in 1870, renamed Toompine prior to 1936 because it sounded better [source] There appears to be only a pub there today [source]
Thulimbah, Scenic Rim	Barney View	-28.2261, 152.778	Renamed to avoid confusion with another Thulimbah near Stanthorpe. The name Barney is a reference to the location being dominated by the view of nearby Mount Barney (-28.2814, 152.6864).
Tingalpa (town) between Brisbane and Cleveland	Chandler	-27.51750, 153.1817	The historic town of Tingalpa was established in 1863 on the western side of Tingalpa Creek [source] can be seen to the west of the creek in this 1893 map. In 1927 it was renamed the town of Capalaba, as Capalaba was the name in common use as it avoided confusion with the other Tingalpa on Wynnum Road.[source][source] See the town of Capalaba on this 1927 map. More recently the town of Capalaba was within the suburb of Capalaba West (with the suburb of Capalaba being east of the creek), but in 2010 the suburb of Capalaba West was absorbed in to the neighbouring suburb of Chandler.[source][source] Nothing remains of the historic town centre of Tingalpa/Capalaba.
Tirroan	Gin Gin	-24.9922, 151.9549	Tirroan Station was renamed Gin Gin Station in about the 1850s, giving its name to the present day town of Gin Gin. [source] However, the town immediately west of Gin Gin is now called Tirroan having been previously called West Albion until 1899. [source]
Toogoolawah, Brisbane	Bulimba		The McConnell family settled at Tugulawa / Toogoolawah aongside the Brisbane River and built a house with that name [source][source] in the area now known as Bulimba. Later the family moved further inland and reused the Toogoolawah name for a railway station (formerly Cressbrook railway station) resulting in the current town of that name.[source]

Toowong (part of), Brisbane	St Lucia	-27.4977, 153.0036	Formerly known as Indooroopilly, Toowong and Toowong South, the name St Lucia was first used by William Alexander Wilson in 1882 when he purchased a sugar mill and from William Dart (on Mill Road) and renamed it The St Lucia Sugar Plantation [source: Articles of Association St Lucia Riverside Land and Investment Co Ltd, Queensland State Archives]. In 2883 Wilson and Dart offered an adjoing farm for sale as residential alllotements and named it "St Lucia Estate". The plantation was subdivided in 1885 and was also known as the St Lucia estate. Only the peninsula area was known as St Lucia; it was not until 1975 that the current suburb of St Lucia was created [source: Peter Brown, St Lucia History Group].
Toowong South, Brisbane	St Lucia	-27.4977, 153.0036	Formerly known as Indooroopilly, Toowong and Toowong South, the name St Lucia was first used by William Alexander Wilson in 1882 when he purchased a sugar mill and from William Dart (on Mill Road) and renamed it The St Lucia Sugar Plantation [source: Articles of Association St Lucia Riverside Land and Investment Co Ltd, Queensland State Archives].

Specific streets using that suburb name in the 1941-1969 electoral rolls are Bent, Camp, Dempster, Maraket, Paisley and Soudan Streets. West Toowong Bowls Club still uses the name. Also written as West Toowong.
Torwood	Auchenflower		A locality now absorbed into the suburb of Auchenflower [source][source]
Town Beach, near Mackay	Iluka		The locality of Town Beach was officially renamed Iluka in 1968 [source]. However, I can find very little evidence of the name Iluka being in popular use (only Iluka Park by the foreshore and Iluka Court) while Town Beach appears to be in use [source]. It appears that Town Beach is still an official name but only for the beach itself not the area [source], while the suburb appears to be known as East Mackay on current maps.
Town Marie, Ipswich	Karalee, extending west to North Tivoli	-27.57630, 152.80275	Town Marie was from Junction Road to the Bremer River and beyond the western end of South Queensborough Parade. It was a small industrial village that existed between 1848 and 1880. [source with a map]

[Ipswich City Council] In 1917, Marburg was renamed Townshend, due to anti-German sentiment in World War 1. [source] However, it was not a popular move with the locals even at the time [source] and in 1920, the original name was restored [source], creating a storm of protest.[source]
Townsvale	Veresdale Gleneagle Woodhill	-27.9083, 152.978 -27.9377, 152.9815 -27.8987, 152.9739	Robert Towns established a cotton plantation called Townsvale in 1863 in the area that is now Veresdale and Gleneagle. [source] Because Robert Towns later left the district and established Townsville, the similarity in names between Townsvale and Townsville caused a lot of confusion and delays for mail (being over 1000 km apart), leading to the gradual dropping of the use of the name Townsvale in favour of other names. [source] The school was originally called Townsvale when it opened in 1873, was renamed Veresdale in 1874 and then Woodhill in 1899. [source]
Traviston	Burrum Heads	-25.1842, 152.6139	It was originally known as Traviston after the first settler Robert Travis. It was renamed in 1960 to be Burrum Heads, taking its name from its location at the mouth of the Burrum River. [QPN 5449] It can be seen as Traviston on this 1943 map.
Tugulawa, Brisbane	Bulimba		The McConnell family settled at Tugulawa / Toogoolawah aongside the Brisbane River and built a house with that name [source][source] in the area now known as Bulimba. Later the family moved further inland and reused the Toogoolawah name for a railway station (formerly Cressbrook railway station) resulting in the current town of that name.[source]
Tunbridge Wells Estate, Humpybong	Redcliffe in the vicinity of George Street	-27.22966, 153.09384	The Tunbridge Wells estate was sold in 1885. [source] Most of the street names on the estate map (apart from George Street) do not exist today. It is unclear to me if these streets never had these names or they were changed very soon after.
U
Ugly Creek, Ipswich	Kholo		[source]
Umbigumbi	Surfers Paradise	-28.001819, 153.428641	Originally called Umbigumbi. In 1889, a postal receiving office was opened and called Elston (after Elston in Nottinghamshire, England which was the home town of the postmaster's wife). In 1917 there was a land sale conducted by Arthur Blackstone called the Surfers Paradise Estate, possibly named by a surveyor Thor Jensen.

The estate was named after Frederick Wecker, a German immigrant prominent in the local community, whose former farm was being subdivided for housing. The Wecker estate map is somewhat difficult to relate with current maps as almost all street names were changed in World War 1 from the German names we see on the estate map to other names; there was considerable public protest in particular about the name change of Wecker Avenue to Kirkland Avenue because of the high regard that the locals had for Frederick Wecker.

Railway Stations/Sidings

Generally railway stations are named after the town, suburb or district that they serve (or vice versa). So also check the table of changed names for towns etc above. It is difficult to distinguish between a railway station and a railway siding, or between a railway and a tramway (a light railway), so I might refer to something in any of these ways based on the sources I have seen.

Old name & old map link	New Name and current map link	Latitude & Longitude	Dates, Notes and Sources
A
Albert railway siding, on the South-West line, Brisbane	Chelmer (gone)		Albert Siding was where the railway line crossed Wharf Street. However, as it would be more-or-less under the southern supports of the Walter Taylor Bridge today, it presumably disappeared prior to the bridge's construction which also altered the route of Wharf Street. [source]
Allan railway station, on the South-Western line, near Warwick	abandoned	-28.1987, 151.9497	Appears on this 1944 map marked with a red dot. The station is now abandoned.

Boggo Junction railway station, on the South Brisbane / Beenleigh line	Dutton Park	-27.49978, 153.02912	Renamed in 1914 [source]. It can be seen as Boggo Junction railway station on this 1914 map, but newspaper mentions from June 1914 call it Dutton Park railway station [source]. It can be seen as Dutton Park railway station on this 1920 map.
Brunswick Street railway station, Brisbane	Fortitude Valley		Renamed about 2008 [source] although the proposal to rename it Fortitude Valley dates back to at least 1935 [source]
Buckingah railway station, on the Gayndah line	Mount Debateable	-25.61681,151.51898	Renamed in 1913 [source]. Although the name suggests it is in the locality of Mount Debateable, the station is in the neighbouring locality of Dirnbir, across the Burnett River from Mount Debateable.
Bunour railway station, on the Pinkenba line, Brisbane	gone	-27.42833, 153.09778	Bunour railway station is a former railway on the boundary of the suburbs of Eagle Farm and Pinkenba on the Pinkenba railway line.

C
Cabbage Tree Creek railway station	Boondall or North Boondall		Cabbage Treek Creek station was renamed Nudgee College station around 1911. [source]. It was later renamed Boondall or North Boondall (Boondall station is closer to the college so this seems more likely).

Cedar Pocket South railway station, on the Beaudesert line	Cedar Grove (gone)	-27.86173, 152.99185	Called Cedar Pocket South on this 1888 map. However, as that section of the railway line was not opened until 1888, it is possible that this was just a name used during construction.
China-lane railway station, on the Boyne Valley railway	Gladstone West		Renamed in 1911 [source]. Cannot find this station under either name on a current map.
City View railway station, on the Belmont Tramway, Brisbane	gone	-27.49301, 153.08012	Operated between 1912 and 1924 [source]. The line can be seen on this 1915 map.

D
Dingo Hill railway station, on the Ipswich line	Gailes		Renamed in 1925 [source]
Doomben railway station, Brisbane	Doomben (relocated)		According to a 1948 street directory, the Doomben railway station was located on Lamington Avenue but adjacent to Nudgee Road, while the Whinstanes railway station was also located on Lamington Avenue between Silvia and Mordants Streets at the junction of the two railway lines. It seems likely that the current Doomben station on Lamington Avenue near Onslow street is a replacement for them both.
Drapers railway station, on the Eton line, Mackay Region	gone	approx -21.24949,148.97709	The railway station immediately north of the town of Eton on the former Eton railway line. Appears on this 1923 map. It was named after Andrew Draper who lived near there. [source]

Logan Road railway station, on the Cleveland railway line	Buranda	-27.49656, 153.04060	The renaming of the station was announced in this July 1917 newspaper article. It appears as Logan Road railway station in this 1907 map and as Buranda railway station in 1934 map.
Lowmead railway station, Brisbane on the Pinkenba line	Eagle Farm (original station)		In 1896-1897, the railway commissioner announced that the railway station at Eagle Farm on the new Pinkenba railway line would be called Lowmead. This upset the local people who thought Eagle Farm was the obvious name for the station, and, after a number of protests and refusals, eventually the commissioner gave in to the locals and it was called Eagle Farm. [source][source] It is unclear if or how long the station was called Lowmead, but if you are looking for a Lowmead railway station in the Brisbane area, this will be it! Note there was a second Eagle Farm railway station built later on that line at a different location (see the Eagle Farm entry). Note there was another unrelated Lowmead railway station on the North Coast railway line at the town of Lowmead between Bundaberg and Gladstone (see the entry below).

Schools

Generally schools are named after the town, suburb or district that they serve. So also check the table of changed names for towns etc above. A very useful resource is Opening and Closing Dates of Queensland Schools (but it is not complete). Another useful resource is the Queensland State Archives catalogue which if searched using a place name often returns an entry for the local school which usually includes any renamings of that school (but again it is not a complete listing of schools). Note many early schools commenced as a provisional school and later became a state school (and occasionally converted back to a provisional school); I have not included name changes that simply changed the status from Provisional to State or vice versa.

Swan Creek Lower State School, near Warwick				Swan Creek Lower State School opened 1877. It closed in 1886. [QSA] It has been suggested that this school became Swan Creek State School.
Swan Creek State School, near Warwick	gone	106 Swan Creek School Road, Swan Creek	-28.1970, 152.1379	Swan Creek State School opened 1877. It closed on 12 December 1997. [QSA] It has been suggeste that this school was originally Swan Creek Lower State School
T
Toowong State School (circa 1870-circa 1880)	Ironside State School, St Lucia			Opened in 1870 as Toowong School, then (when?) renamed Indooroopilly, then about 1889 renamed Indooroopilly Pocket (when the other Indooroopilly School opened), then (when?) renamed Ironside [source][source][source]
Toowong State School (1880 - circa 1909)		68 Brisbane Street, Toowong	-27.48866, 152.99348	In 1880, a Toowong School was opened in Alston Street, Toowong. An unnamed school appears on an 1895 map just off Alston Street on the corner of Brisbane Street and Glenny Street, but it is presumably the same school. It is moved around 1909 to its present location in St Osyth Street, Toowong. [source]
Toowong State High School	Queensland Academy for Science, Mathematics and Technology	78 Bywong Street, Toowong	-27.4870, 152.9794	Toowong State High School closed and the academy opened on the same site in 2007. It is a different school so not actually a renaming. [source]
Townsvale National School	Woodhill State School		-27.89335, 152.97423	The school was opened in 1873 as Townsvale National School and renamed Veresdale Primary School in 1874 and then renamed Woodhill State School in 1899. [source] [source]

Verdant Vale State School	Crowley Vale State School		-27.544, 152.3776	Verdant Vale State School opened in 1916. In 1918 it was renamed Crowley Vale State School. The school closed circa 1941.[source][source]. Map reference is for Crowley Vale, not the actual school.
Veresdale Primary School	Woodhill State School		-27.8934, 152.9742	The school was opened in 1873 as Townsvale National School and renamed Veresdale Primary School in 1874 and then renamed Woodhill State School in 1899. [source] [source]
Virginia State School (near Crows Nest)	Pierce Creek State School (gone)		-27.18999, 152.06306	Virginia Provisional School opened on 12 October 1908 and became Virginia State School in 1909. In 1918 it was renamed Pierce Creek State School. It closed 18 October 1959. [source] Not to be confused with the Virginia State School in Brisbane. Coordinates are based on this 1944 map (see NS grid mark 25, EW grid mark 15).

Walloon Scrub State School	Kirchheim State School	760-766 Thagoona Haigslea Rd, Haigslea	-27.5719, 152.6287	In September 1884, Walloon Scrub State School was renamed Kirchheim State School. [source] In December 1916, it was renamed Haigslea State School as a consequence of anti-German sentiment during World War I. [source]
Wangalpong State School	Wonglepong (gone)		-27.9672, 153.1604	Variously known as Caningera, Caningera Creek, Canungra Creek, Canungera Lower, Wanglepong, Wonglepong between 1844 and 1935. [source] Map reference is approximate.
Warrill Creek State School	Amberley District State School		-27.6572, 152.7491	Warrill Creek State School opened on 2 June 1862. In 1902 it became Amberley State School. From 1942 to 1947 it was closed for the use of the RAAF. In January 2010 it was relocated to a new site and called Amberley District State School. [source] Map locations are for the current site.
Westbrook Crossing State School	Westbrook State School			The Westbrook Crossing State School commenced classes on 9 February 1910 and was renamed Westbrook State School in April 1910. It closed in 1969. [source]
Westbrook Provisional School	Athol State School (gone)		-27.6044, 151.7493	Westbrook Provisional School opened on 25 July 1887. It was renamed Athol Provisional School in 1903. It became Athol State School on 1 October 1910 and closed on 20 July 1962. I don't know the exact location of the school but there is an Athol School Road, so the school was presumably somewhere on that road. Don't confuse this school with Westbrook State School (also known as Westbrook Crossing State School, see above) nor the school associated with the Westbrook Reformatory for Boys. [source]
Wilmott State School	East End State School (gone)		-23.8782, 150.9439	Willmott State School opened on 26 April 1915. It was renamed East End State School in 1936 and closed in 1963. [source][1943 map showing the school]

Zahley State School	Kilbirnie			Originally Mt Darry, then Zahley in 1921, then Kilbirnie in 1928, closed 1961 [source][source] Map location is approximate.
Zillmere State High School, Brisbane	Aspley State High School		-27.35692, 153.02429	Zillmere State High School was renamed Aspley State High School on 17 January 1963, but the school did not commence operation until 29 January 1963, so it is unlikely anyone enrolled under the old name but I guess you might find it mentioned under the old name while it was being planned and constructed.

Albert Street, Bowen Hills, Brisbane	Hudd Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]. It appears in 1904 that Albert / Hudd Street went through to Abbortsford Road, but it does not today, probably because of the development of the railway line.
Albert Street, Bowen Hills, Brisbane	Dukinfield Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]
Albert Road, Brighton	Bournewood Street	-27.29600, 153.05699	Listed as a renamed street in a 1960-61 street directory and confirmed by comparison of a 1955 street directory with a current map. See also Albert Road, Brighton (entry below) for a different street of the same name.

Albert Street, West End	Beattie Street	-27.48229, 153.00473	Appears in a 1892 electoral roll listing as Albert Street [source] but as Beattie Street in an 1895 map. The reason for renaming is not known. But Samuel Alexander Beattie owned property in the street (but lived himself in Jane Street) and he died in 1893, so I speculate the renaming may be intended as some kind of memorial to him.
Albert Terrace, Sherwood / Graceville / Chelmer, Brisbane	Honour Avenue	-27.527510, 152.978719	Renamed in 1917 in memory of the servicemen of the district [source]

Alice Street, Annerley, Brisbane	Ponsonby Street		Name had changed by 1939 so probably one of the 17 Alice Streets renamed in 1938. [source][source] Confirmed by comparison of 1938 street directory and current maps.
Alice Street, Breakfast Creek, Brisbane	Gartrell Street, Albion	-27.4375, 153.0442	This street is called Ann Street appears on this 1895 map, but in this 1920 map, it has become Alice Street. Then it is renamed along with many other Ann Streets around 1938 to be Gartrell Street, as can be seen in this 1943 map. As the suburb of Breakfast Creek no longer exists, it is now in the suburb of Albion.
Alice Street, Albion, Brisbane	Frodsham Street		One of the 17 Alice Streets renamed in 1938 [source] [source].
Alice Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Warilda Street		Alice Street can be seen on a 1916 Coorparoo map [source] but it is Warilda Street by 1938. It is probably one of the 17 Alice Streets renamed in 1938. [source][source]
Alice Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	Athelstan Street		One of the 17 Alice Streets renamed in 1938 [source][source]
Alice Street, Graceville, Brisbane	Bingham Street (gone)		Alice Street (which connected the eastern end of Strong Avenue and Graceville Avenue) was renamed Bingham Street at some time prior to 1939 probably as part of the renaming of 17 Alice Strets in 1938 [source][source] but later the street disappeared when Graceville Avenue was extended across Oxley Creek. Map link is approximate.

Alice Street, (somewhere in) southside Rockhampton			In 1925, Alice Street in Kawana was renamed Power Street to avoid confusion with another Alice Street on the south side of Rockhampton [source]. However, current maps do not show any other Alice Street in Rockhampton, suggesting it too may have been renamed.
Allen Street, Holland Park, Brisbane	Lamette Street	-27.51979, 153.06362	In 1926, the Tarana Estate subdivision was advertised with an estate map showing Allen Street. It is now Lamette Street. Brisbane City Council records suggest the renaming occurred on 19 October 1928. The new name can be seen in this 1937 map.
Alma Street, North Rockhampton	Robinson Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with another Alma Street on the south side of Rockhampton [source]
Amaroo Street, Northgate, Brisbane	gone initially, but later part of the Toombul Road development	-27.38825, 153.06961	Listed as a closed street in a 1960-61 street directory. Its location is shown in a 1955 street directory as a short street that commenced at Northgate Street and went south-east towards the railway line. In the 1960-61 street directory map it has simply disappeared and not replaced by anything. As that part of Northgate was developing as an industrial estate, it was likely removed to create larger land parcels for factories etc. However, more recent redevelopment of Toombul Road changed the alignment of that road to build an overpass over the railway line along what would have been Amaroo Street. This overpass also left a segment of the former Toombul Road (now known as Old Toombul Road).
Amelia Street, Buranda, Brisbane	Faversham Street now in Woolloongabba	-27.494973, 153.03943	Renamed in 1938 [source]. Amelia Street can be seen on this 1907 map (although the street does not go through to Taylor Street as it does today). This [source] claims that it was Amelia Street, Mitchelton, that was renamed Faversham but that seems inconsistent with maps of all periods; I suspect this source has the wrong suburb listed.
Amelia Street, Fortitude Valley / Newstead, Brisbane	Hynes Street		Renamed in 1904 to reduce duplication of street names [source]. It seems that in 1904, Amelia / Hynes Street went through to Montpelier Road, but it does not today (a large retail property appears to have subsumed a portion of the road).
Amelia Street, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Faversham Street		Supposedly renamed by 1939 [source]. However, I cannot locate either an Amelia Street or a Faversham Street in Mitchelton on maps of any period, and, as can be seen above, an Amelia Street in Buranda was renamed Faversham Street, so probably the source has the wrong suburb listed (Buranda is nowhere near Mitchelton so it isn't a case of suburb boundaries moving).
Amy Street, Spring Hill, Brisbane	Sedgebrook Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]
Ann Street, Albion, Brisbane	Storkey Street		Renamed before 1939, probably in 1938 when 11 Ann Streets were renamed. [source][source]
Ann Street, Alderley, Brisabne	Beatson Terrace		Renamed before 1939, probably in 1938 when 11 Ann Streets were renamed. [source][source]
Ann Street, Breakfast Creek	Gartrell Street, Albion	-27.4375, 153.0442	Ann Street appears on this 1895 map, but in this 1920 map, it has become Alice Street. Then it is renamed along with many other Ann Streets around 1938 to be Gartrell Street, as can be seen in this 1943 map. As the suburb of Breakfast Creek no longer exists, it is now in the suburb of Albion.
Ann Street, Clayfield / Hendra, Brisbane	Gellibrand Street		Renamed before 1939, probably in 1938 when 11 Ann Streets were renamed. [source][source]
Ann Street, Darra, Brisbane	Stavordale Street		Renamed before 1939, probably in 1938 when 11 Ann Streets were renamed. [source][source]
Ann Street, Fairfield, Brisbane	Inchcape Street		Renamed before 1939, probably in 1938 when 11 Ann Streets were renamed. [source][source]
Ann Street, Kelvin Grove, Brisbane	Rusden Street		Renamed before 1939, probably in 1938 when 11 Ann Streets were renamed. [source][source]
Ann Street, Lota, Brisbane	Cobar Street		Renamed before 1939, probably in 1938 when 11 Ann Streets were renamed. [source][source]
Ann Street, Mt Gravatt, Brisbane	Huntingdon Street (gone)		Renamed before 1939, probably in 1938 when 11 Ann Streets were renamed. [source][source] Huntingdon Street appears on a 1956 map but no longer appears on current maps. It used to run from High Street across Mountain Street and through to Shire Road. An unnamed laneway is still visible on current maps (between 73 and 73A on Mountain Street).
Ann Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Towner Street	-27.32223, 153.06794	Renamed before 1939, probably in 1938 when 11 Ann Streets were renamed. [source][source] It appears as Ann Street in a 1938 street directory but as Towner Street in a 1948 street directory.
Annie Street, Clayfield, Brisbane	Burrell Street		Renamed in 1936 to avoid duplication. [source] There is Annie Street in nearby Windsor.
Appleton Street, Wavell Heights	Highcrest Avenue		Listed as a renamed street in a 1960-61 street directory. There is a Highcrest Avenue in Wavell Heights today but I cannot find any evidence of it being called Appleton Street in any earlier map or street directory.
Archer Street, North Rockhampton	Phillips Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with another Archer Street on the south side of the city [source]
Arthur Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Barramul Street		There were too many Arthur Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938. [source][source]
Arthur Street, Clayfield, Brisbane	Jolly Street		There were too many Arthur Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938. [source][source]
Arthur Street, Coopers Plains, Brisbane	Brecknock Street, Archerfield		There were too many Arthur Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938. [source][source]
Arthur Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	gone		Arthur Street can be seen on this 1892 Wendouree estate map, but appears to be subsumed into St James's Catholic Church complex today.

Arthur Street, Dunellan, Brisbane	Headfort Street, Greenslopes		There were too many Arthur Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938. [source][source]
Arthur Street, Morningside, Brisbane	Baringa Street		There were too many Arthur Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938. [source][source]
Arthur Street, Mt Gravatt, Brisbane	Barkoola Street, Upper Mt Gravatt		There were too many Arthur Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938. [source][source]
Arthur Street, North Rockhampton	Skardon Street		Renamed in 1927 [source]
Arthur Street, Red Hill, Brisbane	Gray Street	-27.45308, 152.99810	It is listed as Arthur Street in Harris's 1917 street directory, but appears as Gray Street in this 1917 map, so the name change appears to have occurred around 1917. I am guessing the name was changed because it was confused with nearby Arthur Terrace (a much longer and more major street).
Arthur Street, Nundah, Brisbane	Jenner Street	-27.40059, 153.06557	There were too many Arthur Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938. [source][source]
Arthur Street, Spring Hill, Brisbane	Torrington Street		There were too many Arthur Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938. [source][source]
Arthur Street, Stafford, Brisbane	Jardine Street		There were too many Arthur Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938. [source][source]

Arthur Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Harrogate Street		There were too many Arthur Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938. [source][source]
Ashgrove Avenue, Ashgrove, Brisbane (part of)	Ashgrove Crescent, Brisbane		Ashgrove Avenue (previously Three Mile Scrub Road and possibly Serpentine Avenue) originally had a significant bend along the now Ashgrove Crescent (as seen in the 1917 street directory). In the 1931 through 1956 street directories Graham Street appears as "short-cut" avoiding the longer route. At some point after 1956, Ashgrove Avenue was re-routed to take the more direct route (subsuming Graham Street) and the winding part of Ashgrove Avenue was presumably renamed Ashgrove Crescent as a consequence of the re-routing.
B
Bank Lane, South Brisbane/Woolloongabba	Toohey Street	-27.4956, 153.0387	Supposedly Bank Lane was to become absorbed into Toohey Street in 1909 [source] but both Bank Lane and Toohey Street appear on current maps.
Battunga Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Battunga Street, Wishart (re-routed)		Mary Street was renamed Battunga Street in 1938 [source][source]. Battunga Street appears in the 1948 street directory but the area did not appear in the 1938 street directory, so the original name of Mary Street cannot be confirmed. The street layout in this area has undergone considerable change from what appears in the 1948 street directory. Battunga Street still exists but is very small compared with its 1948 version.
Beatrice Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Beata Street		Had been renamed by 1939. [source] Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 maps.
Beatrice Street, Dutton Park?, Brisbane	Maldon Street?		This 1939 list [source] shows a Beatrice Street in Brisbane has been renamed Maldon Street but the suburb is not stated. The only Maldon Street today and on a 1948 map is in Dutton Park and the earliest reference I can find to it in the newspapers is in 1941 consistent with being renamed around 1939, but maps from 1938 show that there was no street where the present Maldon Street is (the intersection of Annerley Road and Gladstone road was a larger triangle than it is) which makes it unlikely it was once called Beatrice! Can anyone help?
Beatrice Street, Paddington, Brisbane	Charlotte Street	-27.4609, 153.0096	This 1895 map shows it as Beatrice Street. This 1914 map shows Beatrice Street running east-west between Hale Street and Dowse Street but another 1914 map is showing it as Charlotte Street, yet a 1919 street directory lists it as Beatrice Street still! It seems likely the name changed during 1914. Note that there is a Beatrice Street in Bardon (which was originally considered part of Paddington) and having two streets in Paddington with the same name may have caused confusion, so that might be the reason for the name change. Note the part of present day Charlotte Street from Dowse Street west to Cochrane Street was always Charlotte Street (and was not Beatrice Street).
Beereegan Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	gone		Originally Margaret Street but renamed Beereegan Street about 1938.[source] The street layout in this area has undergone considerable change from what appears in the 1948 street directory. Beereegan Street no longer exists.
Belgrave Cresent, Taringa / Indooroopilly	Vincent Street	-27.4966, 152.9721	By comparison of an 1887 Nelson estate map with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). It appears as Vincent Street on a 1895 map.
Belgrave Road/Street, Taringa / Indooroopilly	Ward Street (extension), Indooroopilly	-27.50036 152.98237	Ward Street originally extended from Clarence Road to Fairley Street and, after a small kink in the road, a second street extended from present-day Fairley Street (then Church Street) to Turner Street. In the 1880s and 1890s, this second street was called Belgrave Street/Road [1880 map][1892 map], but, by 1895, it was called Pye Street [1895 map][1921 map]. On 24 May 1937, it was renamed Ward Street as an extension of the original Ward Street [source (download)]. Historically, the area has been described as being in Taringa or Indooroopilly but it is within Indooroopilly today.
Bell Street, Bowen Hills, Brisbane	Brookes Street and Exhibition Street		Bell Street appears in an 1875 map (Queensland State Archives) but on an 1885 map (Queensland State Archives) and current maps it is Brookes Street. The street name appears to have changed around 1875-1876 as the Brisbane Directory and Squatters' Directory of 1876 has "see Brookes Street" against the Bell Street entry. However, in 1904, a newspaper article claims Bell Street was recently renamed Exhibition Street [source], a name that reflects that it is within the Royal National Association's Exhibition Grounds. (Note. Don't be confused by the source saying Bell Street comes off Leichhard Street because that part of Leichhardt Street was later renamed St Paul's Terrace.) Given that Brookes Street and Exhibition Street are immediately parallel to one another, it suggests that when the name Brookes Street came into use in the 1875-1885 period, the name Bell Street was re-assigned to the adjacent street (which does not appear in the 1875 map) but may have been a back lane of the original Bell Street?
Bell Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Keera Street		By 1939 Bell Street was renamed Keera Street [source]; most likely it was one of 11 Bell Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by a 1938 map that shows it as Bell Street, but on a 1948 map it is Keera Street.
Bell Street, Enoggera, Brisbane	Wardell Street		By 1939 Bell Street was renamed Wardell Street [source]; most likely it was one of 11 Bell Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by a 1938 map that shows it as Bell Street, but on a 1948 map it is Wardell Street.
Bell Street, Fairfield, Brisbane	Bledisloe Street		By 1939 Bell Street was renamed Bledisloe Street [source]; most likely it was one of 11 Bell Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by a 1938 map that shows it as Bell Street, but on a 1948 map it is Bledisloe Street. Note that, on the 1948 map, Bledisloe Street runs from Fairfield Road across to Lang Street (now Lagonda Street), but today only the segment from Fairfield Road to the railway line exists and the segment east of the railway line to Lagonda Street no longer appear to exist as a road (although it is still visible on the map).
Bell Street, Hendra, Brisbane	Goble Street		By 1939 Bell Street was renamed Gable Street [source]; most likely it was one of 11 Bell Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by a 1938 map that shows it as Bell Street, but on a 1948 map and present day maps the name is Goble Street, so most likely Gable Street was a typo in the 1939 source.
Bell Street, Merthyr / Newstead, Brisbane	Patterson Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source].
Bell Street, Nundah, Brisbane	Leighton Street		By 1939 Bell Street was renamed Leighton Street [source]; most likely it was one of 11 Bell Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by a 1938 map that shows it as Bell Street, but on a 1948 map it is Leighton Street.
Bell Street, Paddington, Brisbane	Reading Street	-27.46041, 152.99123	A 1920 map of Brisbane shows one straight Bell Street, but current maps show Reading Street broken into two segments.
Bell Street, Petrie Terrace, Brisbane	Melford Street		By 1939 Bell Street was renamed Pratten Street according to this [source]. However, inspection of a 1938 map and a 1948 map show that Bell Street was renamed Melford Street. However, as Pratten Street very nearly adjoins Bell / Melford Street, perhaps the intention reported in the 1939 source had been to join the two streets into a single Pratten Street (but, if so, this did not occur).
Bell Street, Red Hill, Brisbane	Fullerton Street		By 1939 Bell Street was renamed Barnsley Street [source]; most likely it was one of 11 Bell Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by a 1938 map that shows it as Bell Street, but on a 1948 map it is Barnsley Street.
Bell Street, Spring Hill, Brisbane	Bathgate Street		By 1939 Bell Street was renamed Bathgate Street [source]; most likely it was one of 11 Bell Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by a 1938 map that shows it as Bell Street, but on a 1948 map it is Bathgate Street.
Bell Street, Tarragindi, Brisbane	Brentford Street		By 1939 Bell Street was renamed Brentford Street [source]; most likely it was one of 11 Bell Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. However, I cannot locate a Bell Street in Tarragindi in early maps nor a Brentford Street anywhere in Brisbane in later maps. Click if you can help!
Bell Street, West End, Brisbane	Barnsley Street		By 1939 Bell Street was renamed Barnsley Street [source]; most likely it was one of 11 Bell Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by a 1938 map that shows it as Bell Street, but on a 1948 map it is Barnsley Street.
Bellevue Street, Highgate Hill, Brisbane	Ruth Street		Comparison of 1889 map and current map [source]
Berguna Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	gone		Originally Jane Street, renamed Berguna Street in 1938 [source][source], confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. There is no Berguna Street in current maps; it has been replaced by a housing development [source].
Berlin Road, Clayfield, Brisbane	Sefton Road		Comparison of 1885 estate map and current maps. May have been renamed during World War 1 due to anti-German sentiment?
Bertie Street, Stratford, Cairns Region	Mason Street	-16.87781, 145.72857	[source] Mason Street appears in the 1949 electoral rolls but only Bertie Street appears in the 1941 electoral roll, so the name change is likely to have occurred between those years.
Bilyarra Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Pollock Street		Originally Third Avenue, then renamed in 1938 to be Bilyarra Street [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. But appears in the 1956 street directory to current maps, it appears as Pollock Street (perhaps Bilyarra Street was too easily confused with nearby Bilyana Street)?
Bingham Road, south of Hervey Bay	Booral Road	-25.34382, 152.83322	This long road has had many names. It also passes through many suburbs. It was known as Urangan Road from at least 1869 [source] and was the location of the Urangan Road State School, then variously as Urangan-Bingham Road [source] or just Bingham Road, then by 1941 it was Nikenbah Bingham Road (1941 map) and now Booral Road.
Birdwood Street, Manly	Major Street	-27.4559, 153.1696	Appears as Birdwood Street on the Graveston Estate map of 1917 courtesy of State Library of Queensland).but as Major Street in an 1931 street directory.
Bishopsgate Road, Banyo, Brisbane	gone	-27.37918, 153.07830	The streets in this area have been replaced by large industrial estates. Bishopsgate Road ran from Blinzinger Road (which went through to Earnshaw Road at that time) to Tufnell Road. See this 1884 [map] (note, North is downwards).
Bismarck Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Hipwood Avenue		Renamed in 1916 presumably due to anti-German sentiment in World War 1. [source] This street was originally in the Wecker Estate (see above).
Bismarck Street, Mayborough	Gallipoli Street		Renamed in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment in World War 1. [source]
Blaker Road, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Glenholm Street		According to a 1948 map, Blaker Road commenced at Samford Road and went north to the railway line and then followed the railway line to the north-west until just past the intersection with Church Road. However, a 1956 map shows the segment from Samford Road to the railway line as being an extension of Glenholm Street (which in 1948 commenced at the railway line and ran north to Kedron Brook Creek). The 1956 map also shows Blaker Road having been extended through to Dawson Parade (as it appears on current maps).
Blinzinger Road (part of), Banyo, Brisbane	partly gone and partly Crockford Street		Blinzinger Road used to extend across the railway line through to Northgate Road (now Earnshaw Road), but part of it disappeared under the Golden Circle Cannery. The disconnected section of Blinzinger Road from Northgate Road (now Earnshaw Road) to Nudgee Road is still shown on a 1956 map as Blinzinger Street, but its name on current maps is Crockford Street.
Blocksidge Street, South Brisbane area	Water Street East?		Supposedly Water Street East was renamed Blocksidge Street in 1909 [source] but Water Street East was still in existence (off Stanley Street roughly opposite Raymond Terrace) until the Mater Hospital extensions and busway were built around the 1990s/2000s (the street disappeared as a result of that redevelopment).There is no sign of Blocksidge Street in current maps.
Boggo Road, Dutton Park, Brisbane	Annerley Road		Renamed about 1906 [source] as residents did not like the association with the Boggo Road Gaol. The gaol continued to be known by that name for many years after.
Booner Road, Lota, Brisbane	Booner Street & Bethania Street		Francis Street was renamed Booner Street in 1938 [source][source] and this confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. At this time Francis / Booner Street ran from Railway Terrace straight through to Whites Road. However, today Booner Street goes only from Railway Terrace to Avadne Road. It appears that some time (after 1956) part of Booner Road (between Avadne Road and Toombes Street) was subsumbed into Cox Park. The section of Booner Street from Toombes Street to Whites Road was then combined with Toombes Street (which went from Booner Street to Andrew Street) into the Bethania Street that exists today.
Botts Road, Sandgate, Brisbane	Brighton Road	-27.3128, 153.0645	In 1913 the council decided to combine part of Deagon Street and Botts Road to create Brighton Road. [source] It is not indicated which part of the current Brighton Road was formerly Deagon Street and which part was Botts Road, but looking at the angle that the current Deagon Road connects into Brighton Road, it seems most likely that the southern section of Brighton Road (from the current Deagon Street to Seymour Street) was originally Deagon Street, while the northern section of Brighton Road (from the current Deagon Street to Ward Street) was originally Botts Road.
Boundary Road, Petrie Terrace / Paddington, Brisbane	Hale Street		[source]
Boundary Street, South Brisbane / Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Vulture Street		When Brisbane was first settled, a number of Boundary Streets were established representing the boundaries of the town. Some remain, others were renamed. The southern Boundary Street that ran from the western Boundary Street to Ipswich Road (as shown on an 1865 map of Brisbane) is now known as Vulture Street. [source]
Bourne Street, South Brisbane area	Savage Street		Supposedly Bourne Street was renamed Savage Street in 1909 [source] but it is Bourne Street and not Savage Street that appears on current maps.
Bowen Street, Annerley, Brisbane	Carville Street
Boyanda Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Boyanda Street (re-routed slightly)		The street layout of this area has changed considerably from what is shown in the 1948 street directory. Boyanda Street still exists but is slightly re-routed.
Bridgeman Road, Banyo	Northumbria Road	-27.357128, 153.064738	Appears as Bridgeman Road in an 1948 street directory but as Northumbria Road on current maps. However, in 1948 Bridgeman Road went further east (immediately adjacent to Nudgee College) where it met Aberdeen Parade at the railway line. Northrumbia Avenue is shorter today probably to accommodate the suburban development that was not present in 1948. Other streets in this area affected by the development include Holme Avenue and Thoms Avenue.
Bridgewater Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	gone	-27.482004, 153.05779	Appears on a 1956 map but not on current maps.
Brisbane Road, Southport	Queen Street	-27.97279, 153.41295	Appears as Brisbane Road on this 1882 estate map [source]
Bruce Street, Lutwyche, Brisbane	Swinburne Street (eastern end)		Renamed in 1938 [source]. The 1938 street directory shows O'Mara Street as a short street running east from Brook Street for about 200 metres, meanwhile Bruce Street ran from Lutwyche Road west for about 150 metres. The 1948 street directory shows that O'Mara Street and Bruce Street have now been connected into a single street called Swinburne Street.
Bulimba Road, Hawthorne, Brisbane	Hawthorne Road		Comparing an 1885 map with a current map we discover the old Bulimba Road became Hawthorne Road and that the old Hawthorne Road became Uhlmann Street [source]
Bulimba Road, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Shafston Avenue		Deduced from comparison of 1865 map [source] and current maps
Bulimba Road, Newstead/Teneriffe	Commercial Road	-27.45398, 153.04560	This 1893 map shows it as "Commercial (late Bulimba) Road". There are newspaper mentions in 1887 of it as "Bulimba Road (now named Commercial Road)" [source] but in 1882 it appears simply as "Bulimba Road" [source], so the name change appears to have occurred in the mid 1880s.
Burns Road, Banyo	Saltash Street, Virginia	-27.367135, 153.066464	Appears as Burns Road in an 1948 street directory but as Saltash Street on current maps. It is one of several streets renamed in this area, possibly when the industrial estate was built?
Burton Street, South Brisbane area	Leamington Street?		Supposedly Leamington Street was renamed Burton Street in 1909 [source] but it is Leamington Street and not Burton Street that appears on current maps.
Byron Street, Banyo	Ullswater Street, Virginia	-27.369346, 153.065219	Appears as Byron Street in an 1948 street directory but as Ullswater Street on current maps. It is one of several streets renamed in this area, possibly when the industrial estate was built?
C
Caflisch Street, South Brisbane area	Colton Street?		Supposedly Colton Street was renamed Caflisch Street in 1909 [source] but it is Colton Street not Caflisch Street that appears on current maps.
Cahill Street, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Irvine Street		Originally Third Avenue, renamed to Cahill Street in 1938 [source]. However, it appears to be have been absorbed into adjoining Irvine Street on current maps.
Cairns Range Tablelands Highway, between Cairns and Atherton	Gillies Highway		Renamed in 1934 [source]
Cairns Street, South Brisbane area	Garsden Street		Supposedly Cairns Street was renamed Garsden Street in 1909 [source] but it is Cairns Street not Garsden Street that appears on current maps.
Cameron Street, Coopers Plains, Brisbane	Granard Road, Rocklea (part of)		In 1948, Granard Street (formerly known as Main Street) only went from Beaudesert Road west to Beatty Street. Then, from Beatty Street, it became Cameron Steet continued west to Douglas Street; there was no further connection west of Douglas Street. However, in the 1956 street directory, we see Granard Road connecting Beaudesert Road all the way through to Ipswich Road (as appears on current maps) having apparently subsumed Cameron Street in the process.
Cannon Avenue / Row, Banyo, Brisbane	gone	-27.37931, 153.07553	This area is now an industrial estate. See this 1884 [map] (note, North is downwards).
Caroline Street, North Rockhampton	Macaree Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with another Caroline Street on the south side of the city [source]
Caroline Street, Paddington, Brisbane	Moreton Street and Chrystal Street		A 1914? map shows Caroline Street running east-west between Dowse Street and Hale Street. [source] In about 1914, the middle portion of it was resumed to create a children's playground [source] but the remaining east and west portions were still called Caroline Street [source] and can still be found on 1956 maps. However, on current maps, the western portion is now an extension of Moreton Street and the eastern portion an extension of Chrystal Street.
Carter Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	gone		Carter Street ran north-south between Ferry Street and Cairns Street close to (but not alongside) the river. It was resumed in 1940-1 for extensions to the Evans Deakin shipyard during World War 2 [source], and this is confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Castlereagh Street, Virginia, Brisbane	gone		Subsumed into an industrial estate. Based on comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps.
Caton's / Caton Road, northern Brisbane			This road is mentioned twice in reports of the Nundah Divisional Board (later the Kedron Division Board) in 1889 [source] and 1892 [source]. Can you help with any information about this road?
Cedar Street (part of), Wynnum, Brisbane	Worthing Street		The portion south-west of the railway line was renamed in 1928 [source][source] The north-east portion is still Cedar Street.
Cemetery Road, Mount Morgan	Coronation Drive		Renamed in 1953 [source]
Cemetery Road, Nundah/Toombul, Brisbane	Hedley Avenue (north) Hedley Avenue (south)	-27.40562, 153.06643 -27.41330, 153.07051	In a 1931 street directory and the 1934 electoral roll, the street appears as Cemetery Road. A newspaper advertisement in August 1937 mentions Hedley Avenue [source]. In a 1938 street directory, the street is listed as Hedley Avenue. The new name is believed to refer to local doctor Hedley Brown. [source] At that time, the street commenced at Vernon Street and ran south to Hows Road and then south-east past the Nundah cemetery and across a creek via a bridge into Toombul and then finally turned east to join with Nudgee Road. Today the combination of Schulz Canal, the railway line to the airport and the East-West Arterial Road have split Hedley Avenue into two segments, the northern segment in Nundah and the southern segment in Toombul.
Cemetery Road, Petrie Terrace / Paddington, Brisbane	Hale Street		[source]
Cemetery Road, Toowong, Brisbane	Sylvan Road		[source]
Century Street, Chermside	Buruda Street	-27.39244, 153.03342	This 1937 map shows Century Street commencing at Oxley Street (now Pilba Street) and extending north to Mermaid Street and then terminating before the present junction with Buna Street, while this 1955 map shows it as Buruda Street and extending from Pilba Street to Kuran Street (was Wallace Street).
Chancer Street, Stephens Shire			It was proposed to rename this street in 1916 due to anti-German sentiments during World War 1 but it is unclear whether it was renamed or what the new name was. [source] However, no such street exists on current maps.
Charles Street, Auchenflower / Milton, Brisbane	MacIntosh Street		Comparison of 1934 and 1941 electoral rolls show that Charles Street has been renamed MacIntosh Street, probably one of the 11 Charles Streets in Brisbane which were renamed in 1938 [source] The name change is mentioned in 1939. [source]
Charles Street, Buranda/Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Atherton Street		Comparison of 1934 and 1941 electoral rolls show that Charles Street has been renamed Atherton Street, probably one of the 11 Charles Streets in Brisbane which were renamed in 1938 [source]
Charles Street, Chermside, Brisbane	Parkhill Street		Renamed in 1938. [source] [source]
Charles Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Geera Street		[source: a resident of the street]. Most probably changed in December 1938 [source]. Last newspaper reference to Charles Street is June 1938 [source]. First reference to Geera Street is in 1939 [source]
Charles Street, Deagon / Sandgate, Brisbane	Loftus Street		Comparison of 1934 and 1941 electoral rolls show that Charles Street has been renamed Loftus Street, probably one of the 11 Charles Streets in Brisbane which were renamed in 1938 [source].
Charles Street, Morningside, Brisbane	Elaroo Street		Comparison of 1934 and 1941 electoral rolls show that Charles Street has been renamed Elaroo Street, probably one of the 11 Charles Streets in Brisbane which were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by this 1939 source listing the changed name [source]
Charles Street, Northgate / Banyo, Brisbane	Corser Street (gone)		The streets in this area have been replaced by large industrial sites. It was one of the 11 Charles Street replaced in 1938. [source][source] Corser Street was a short street running NW-SE roughly between Kia-ora Street and Axford Street (but adjoined neither). It was one of a small group of roads accessed via Royal Parade (which ran further south than it does today). Note there was a 2nd Charles Street in Northgate, now Dethridge Street.
Charles Street, Northgate, Brisbane	Dethridge Street		Charles Street had been replaced by Dethridge Street by 1939 [source]. It was probably one of the 11 Charles Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by Charles Street appearing in an 1938 map and Dethridge Street in a 1948 map.
Charles Street, Red Hill, Brisbane	Garling Street		Comparison of 1934 and 1941 electoral rolls show that Charles Street has been renamed Garling Street, probably one of the 11 Charles Streets in Brisbane which were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by the name change having happened by 1939 [source]
Charles Street, Stafford, Brisbane	Brockman Street, Kedron		Charles Street had been renamed Brockman Street by 1939 [source]; probably one of the 11 Charles Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by finding Charles Street in a 1938 map and Brockman Street in a 1948 map.
Charles Street, Woolloongabba, Brisabne	Atherton Street		Charles Street had been renamed Atheron Street by 1939 [source]; probably one of the 11 Charles Streets renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed by finding Charles Street in a 1938 map and Atherton Street in a 1948 map.
Charles Street, Zillmere, Brisbane	Ewing Street		Renamed in 1938. [source] The name change has occurred by 1939 [source]
Charles Street, (somewhere in) Brisbane			In 1938, 11 Charles Streets were renamed but unfortunately we don't know in all cases what suburb they were in or what their new name was. [source]
Charlotte Street, North Rockhampton	Sharples Street		Renamed in 1927 [source]
Chelmsford Street, South Brisbane area	Stephens Road?		Supposedly Stephens Street was renamed Chelmsford Street in 1909 [source]. On current maps there is no Chelmsford Street but there is a Stephens Road.
Cheshire Road, Kedron, Brisbane	gone		Cheshire Road can be seen in a 1956 street directory as running west from Shaw Road intersecting with Nabiac and a longer version of Mercer Avenue than exists today and then south roughly parallel with the creek. Today it appears completely subsumed within Shaw & Mercer Parks.
Chestnut Street (part of), Wynnum, Brisbane	Drayton Terrace		The portion south-west of the railway line was renamed in 1928 [source][source]. The north-east portion remains Chestnut Street.
Chinaman Road, Yeerongpilly, Brisbane	Waragil Street		Renamed in 1930 [source] but I cannot locate either street name on any map.
Church Avenue, off Arthur Street, South Brisbane area	Denison Street		Supposedly Church Avenue (off Arthur Street, now Harrowgate Street) was renamed Denison Street in 1909 [source] but it is Church Avenue not Denison Street that appears on current maps. Although Church Avenue does not connect to Harrowgate Street on current maps, they probably did connect up until the 1960s when the South-East Freeway (Pacific Motorway) was built.
Church Avenue, off Stanley Street, South Brisbane area	Weedon Street		Supposedly Church Avenue was renamed Weedon Street in 1909 [source] but neither can be found on a current maps. There is a Church Avenue in the Woolloongabba area, but nowhere near Stanley Street.
Church Street, Bald Hills, Brisbane	Adair Street		Too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. [source] [source]
Church Street, Banyo, Brisbane	Nesbit Street (now gone)	-27.38010, 153.07484	Too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. [source] Unfortunately there is no Nesbitt Street on a contemporary map as the Golden Circle Cannery was built over it. See this 1884 [map] (note, North is downwards).
Church Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Birkalla Street		Too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. [source] [source]
Church Street, Cannon Hill, Brisbane	Bombery Street		Too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. [source] [source]
Church Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Birubi Street		Too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. [source] This 1939 [source] claims it was renamed Birwoi Street, but there is no evidence of this name in any street maps.
Church Street (part of?), Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	Wandoo Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]. Since there is still a Church Street almost directly opposite Wandoo Street (across Ann Street), it seems likely that Church Street was originally one longer dog-legged street and that the renaming was to eliminate the dog-leg.
Church Street, Indooroopilly, Brisbane	Fairley Street	-27.50199, 152.98056	Too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. [source] [source]
Church Street, Ithaca / Kelvin Grove/ Red Hill	Lintern Street	-27.451190, 153.000414	Church Street appears in a 1917 street directory, but in a 1931 street directory it is called Lintern Street (as it is to this day).
Church Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Amesbury Street	-27.474337, 153.035178	On an 1887 map and a 1917 street directory it appears as St Mary Street (noting that St Mary's Church is next door). The 1931 and 1938 street directories calls it Church Street. It was renamed in 1938 to Amesbury Street [source] [source] and this is confirmed by the 1956 street directory.
Church Street, Milton, Brisbane	Chippendall Street	-27.46626, 153.00940	Too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. [source] [source]
Church Street, North Rockhampton	Macfarlane Street	-23.36886, 150.52225	Renamed in 1927 [source]
Church Street, Sherwood, Brisbane	Egmont Street		Too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. [source] [source]
Church Street, Stafford, Brisbane	Collier Street		Too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. [source] [source]
Church Street, Toowong, Brisbane	Jephson Street		There were too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. Church Street in Toowong was renamed Elworthy Street in 1938 [source]. However, it seems it was renamed Jephson Street by 1939 [source] [source] . In the 1941 electoral roll, a few people are listed as living in Elworthy Street but many more are listed as living in Jephson Street.
Church Street, West End, Brisbane	Ambleside Street Amersham Street		Too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. [source] However, Ambleside and Amersham Streets appear to be the same L-shaped street called Ambleside on the long side and Amersham on the short side. [source]
Church Lane, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Trinity Lane	-27.4876, 153.0309	Shown as Church Lane in 1931 street direction and Trinity Lane in 1938 street directory. The names "Church" and "Trinity" presumably both refer to the Holy Trinity Anglican Church at the top of the lane (the site has been used for an Anglican Church since 1870 but did not acquire the name Holy Trinity until 1875).
Church Road, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Hawthorne Street	-27.4879, 153.0310	Appears on an 1876 Clarendon Estate map as Church Road. Appears on an 1895 map as Hawthorne Road. The name Church presumably refers to the Holy Trinity Anglican Church in that street (established 1870).
Clancarty Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	gone		Originally Russell Street, it was renamed Clancarty Streety in 1938 [source]. Clancarty St appears on a 1956 map as adjoining Toohey Road but has now been subsumed into Toohey Forest Park.
Clara Street (part of), Wynnum, Brisbane	Besham Parade		The portion south-west of the railway line was renamed in 1928 [source][source] The north-east portion remains Clara Street.
Clifford Parade, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Invermore Street	-27.53203, 153.07736	Clifford Parade appears as an address in the 1954 electoral roll and in a 1955 street directory, but in the 1959 electoral roll and a 1960 street directory, it appears as Invermore Street, so the name change appears to have occurred in the late 1950s.
Clontarf Road, Woody Point, Redcliffe	Hornibrook Esplanade		Comparison of map from 1923-1938 with current map. [source]
Collard Place, Banyo, Brisbane	Froude Street (north-east segment) and gone	-27.3752, 153.0756	This 1884 map (North is downwards) shows Collard Place commencing at the intersection of Musgrave Street and Station Street (now Kennaway Street) and continuing north-east parallel with the railway line. Sturt Street is shown as commencing at Collard Place and heading north-west. Looking at a 1926 street directory, the short north-east segment of Victoria Street appears to be the start of Collard Place and the north-west segment of Victoria Street appears to be Sturt Street. The remainder of Collard Place (further to the north-east) does not appear in the 1926 street directory. Victoria Street appears in a 1956 street directory but in a 1975 street directory, it has been renamed to its current name Froude Street.
Colton Street, South Brisbane area	Caflisch Street		Supposedly Colton Street was renamed Caflisch Street in 1909 [source] but it is Colton Street not Caflisch Street that appears on current maps.
Compo Road, Rocklea, Brisbane	Evans Road		Renamed in 1941 [source]
Cooksley Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Third Avenue	-27.31832, 153.07122	In 1913, the council decided to rename Petty, Wilson, Cooksley, Henry, and Tully streets to be First, Second, Third, Fifth and Sixth Avenues respectively. [source] But it leaves us wondering about the origins of Fourth Avenue.
Cornwall Street, Dutton Park, Brisbane	partly gone		According to 1948 maps, Cornwall Street continued into a straight line down to the river and the most westerly intersection was with Fairfield Road. However, since 1903, South Brisbane cemetery had been extended into the land between Cornwall Street and Princess Street (west of Fairfield Road) and this section of Cornwall Street was closed as a public road in 1930 and was absorbed into the cemetery (it does not show in a 1956 street directory). The northern most part of Fairfield Road (north of Princess Street) appears to have been renamed Cornwall Street as part of this process. [source]
Coronation Drive, Mount Coot-tha, Brisbane	Sir Samuel Griffith Drive (aka Sir Samuel Griffith Scenic Drive)		Renamed in 1951 to avoid confusion with Coronation Drive in Milton / Auchenflower / Toowong and to honour Sir Samuel Griffith [source]
Coronation Drive, St Lucia, Brisbane	Hawken Drive		Renamed in 1949 to avoid confusion with Coronation Drive in Milton / Auchenflower / Toowong and to honour Professor Hawken of the University of Queensland [source]
Corser Street, Northgate, Brisbane	gone		The streets in this area were replaced by large industrial sites.
Cowley Street, New Farm, Brisbane	SE part of Hopetoun Way & Hollins Crescent		By comparison of 1887 map with current map. [source] However, so much redevelopment has occurred in this area that it is difficult to say if Hopetoun Way & Hollins Crescent are renaming Richardson Street & Cowley Street or whether they are completely new streets approximately where the old streets used to be.
Creek Street, Annerley, Brisbane	Lewisham Street		Renamed before 1939 [source]; probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed as it appears as Creek Street in a 1938 map and as Lewisham Street in a 1948 map. Note that Lewisham Street only went between Ekibin Road and Dudley Street at that time (and did not cross the creek). In the 1960s/70s Lewisham Street was extended under the South-East Freeway to cross the creek and connect to Earl Street as the South-East Freeway development destroyed the former Ridge Street creek crossing.
Creek Street, Breakfast Creek, Brisbane	Pedder Street		Renamed before 1939 [source]; probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed as it appears as Creek Street in a 1938 map and as Pedder Street in a 1948 map.
Creek Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Corio Street		Renamed before 1939 [source]; probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed as it appears as Creek Street in a 1938 map and as Corio Street in a 1948 map.
Creek Street, Deagon, Brisabne	Lendon Street		Renamed before 1939 [source]; probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed as it appears as Creek Street in a 1938 map and as Lendon Street in a 1948 map.
Creek Street, Indooroopilly, Brisbane	Kinloch Street		Renamed before 1939 [source] (although the source has the spelling Kinlock); probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed as it appears as Creek Street in a 1938 map and as Kinlock Street in a 1948 map.
Creek Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Piper Street		Apparently renamed before 1939 [source]; it appears to be one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source] as it appears on a 1938 map as Creek Street. However, on a 1931 map it was called Graham Street.
Creek Street, Kenmore, Brisbane	Sutling Street		Renamed before 1939 [source]; probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. Unfortunately this area is not covered by my 1938 map so I cannot confirm it was originally called Creek Street (although it was clearly adjacent to a creek).
Creek Street, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Northmore Street		Renamed before 1939 [source]; probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. According to a 1938 map, Creek Street ran only from Kedron Avenue (now McConaghy Street) across Osborne Street and towards Kedron Brook Creek (that is, the easternmost part of Northmore Street today) and it is only that segment of road that is renamed Northmore Street on a 1948 map. In 1948 the western end of the current Northmore Street from Keylar Street to Blackwood Street was known as Ivy Street and the segment of the current Northmore Street between Blackwood Street and Kedron Avenue (now McConaghy Street) did not exist. However, a 1956 map shows Northmore Street running all the way from Keylar Street down to Kedron Brook (as it does today).
Creek Street, Newmarket, Brisbane	Finsbury Street		Renamed before 1939 [source]; probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed as it appears as Creek Street in a 1938 map and as Praed Street in a 1948 map.
Creek Street, Red Hill, Brisbane	Praed Street		Renamed before 1939 [source]; probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed as it appears as Creek Street in a 1938 map and as Finsbury Street in a 1948 map.
Creek Road, Rocklea, Brisbane	Donaldson Road		Renamed in 1926 [source]. Not to be confused with nearby Donaldson Street in Corinda.
Creek Street, Windsor, Brisbane	Kidman Street		One of the 14 Creek Streets renamed in 1938 [source][source] This is confirmed as it appears as Creek Street in a 1938 map and as Kidman Street in a 1948 map.
Creek Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Camberwell Streeet		Renamed before 1939 [source]; probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed as it appears as Creek Street in a 1938 map and as Camberwell Street in a 1948 map.
Creek Street, Wynnum, Brisbane	Coreen Street		Renamed before 1939 [source]; probably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source]. This is confirmed as it appears as Creek Street in a 1938 map and as Coreen Street in a 1948 map.
Cribb Island Road, Cribb Island, Brisbane	gone		Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
Cribb Parade, Cribb Island, Brisbane	gone		Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
Cross Street, Wilston, Brisbane	MacGregor Street	-27.43412, 153.01931	The Wilston Estate was sold in 1885 [source]. Cross Street appears on the 1885 estate map, but it appears as MacGregor Street on a 1917 map.
Crown Avenue, Virginia, Brisbane	gone		Subsumed into an industrial estate. Based on comparisons of 1956 street directory and current maps.
Croydon Street, Banyo, Brisbane	gone	-27.37889, 153.07650	This area is now an industrial estate. See this 1884 map (note, North is downwards).
D
David Street, Cribb Island, Brisbane	gone		Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
Davies Road, Mount Peter, Cairns Region	Sawmill Pocket Road	-17.07114, 145.72914	Originally named after local man John Davies, a railway linesman who died on the 13 January 1940. Renamed in 2006 to avoid confusion with another Davis Road in nearby Wrights Creek. [source]
Davies Road, South Brisbane	Montague Road?		Supposedly Montague Road was renamed Davies Road in 1909 [source] but it is Montague Road not Davies Road that appears on current maps.There is a Davies Park adjacent to Montague Road.
Dawson Street, Rockhampton	Barry Street
Deagon Street, Deagon, Brisbane	Albury Street	-27.32585, 153.06540	Deagon Street appears in a 1919 street directory but it has become Albury Street in a 1931 street directory. Not to be confused with Deagon Street, Sandgate (see below); indeed, maybe that was the reason for its renaming. The earliest newspaper reference I could find to Albury Street is in 1929. [source]
Deagon Street (part of), Sandgate, Brisbane	Brighton Road	-27.3155, 153.0661	In 1913 the council decided to combine part of Deagon Street and Botts Road to create Brighton Road. [source] It is not indicated which part of the current Brighton Road was formerly Deagon Street and which part was Botts Road, but looking at the angle that the current Deagon Road connects into Brighton Road, it seems most likely that the southern section of Brighton Road (from the current Deagon Street to Seymour Street) was originally Deagon Street, while the northern section of Brighton Road (from the current Deagon Street to Ward Street) was originally Botts Road. Not to be confused with Deagon Street, Deagon (see above).
Deighton Street, South Brisbane area	Dutton Street		Deighton Street was renamed Dutton Street in 1909 [source]. However, there is also a Deighton Road on current maps.
Denham Street, North Rockhampton	Goodsall Street		In 1925 it was proposed to rename Denham Street in North Rockhampton to avoid confusion with the Denham Street on the south side of the city but no new name had been agreed to. [source] but later the name Goodsall Street was chosen [source]
Denison Street, South Brisbane area	Church Avenue?		Supposedly Church Avenue (off Arthur Street, now Harrowgate Street) was renamed Denison Street in 1909 [source] but it is Church Avenue not Denison Street that appears on current maps. Although Church Avenue does not connect to Harrowgate Street on current maps, they probably did connect up until the 1960s when the South-East Freeway (Pacific Motorway) was built.
Derby Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	gone		A 1956 map shows Derby Street coming off Toohey Road in an area that is now Toohey Forest Park. It is possible that Derby Street might be the current Flanders Street, but I think Derby Street was a bit further north than Flanders.
Devereux Street, Kedron, Brisbane	gone		Devereux Street appears in a 1956 directory running north-south through the area subsumed by Shaw & Mercer Parks.
Dixon Street, South Brisbane area	Raven Street?		Supposedly Raven Street was renamed Dixon Street in 1909 [source] but it is Raven Street not Dixon Street that appears on current maps.
Dudley Street East, Annerley, Brisbane	Dudley Street	-27.51117, 153.03515	Street directories from 1917 to 1956 shows Dudley Street running west from Ipswich Road while Dudley Street East runs east from Ipswich Road. Modern maps show both segments being called Dudley Street.
Duff Street, Chermside, Brisbane	Kuran Street		Appears in the 1938 street directory as Duff Street, in the 1948 street directory as Wallace Street (presumably an extension of the still existing Wallace Street west of Gympie Road), and in the 1956 street directory as Kuran Street. See also this 1937 map (as Wallace Street) and this 1955 map (as Kuran Street).
Dunn Street, Yeronga, Brisbane	Kadumba Street		In 1938, the road running from Fairfield Avenue to Rhyndarra Street had four separate names: Railway Avenue, Dunn Street, Rome Street and Kadumba Street. The entire road was renamed Kadumba Street. [source][source]
E
Eagle Farm Road, Eagle Farm, Brisbane	Kingsford Smith Drive		The road from Breakfast Creek to the Pinkenba level crossing (known as Hamilton Road until the junction with Racecourse Road and then Eagle Farm Road beyond that) was renamed in 1953 in honour of Charles Kingsford Smith. Ironically, that road had been renamed Bailey Memorial Drive in 1938 after J.F. Bailey (curator of the Botanic Gardens) but that name had not been used. [source] Note that Eagle Farm Road beyond the Pinkenba level crossing was not renamed and is still visible on current maps.
Edith Street (part of), Wynnum, Brisbane	Emsworth Street		The portion to the south-west of the railway line was renamed in 1928 [source][source] The north-east portion remains Edith Street.
Edith & Mary Street, Newstead (also known simply as Edith Street)	Halford Street	-27.44373, 153.04489	Early maps show it as Edith & Mary Street (or Streets). [1895 map] Later maps and electoral rolls just call it Edith Street, so I assumed the name had simplified, but then a 1960-1 street directory listed it still as Edith & Mary Street, so it is unclear if the simpler Edith Street was ever official, or just everyone being lazy. However, by 1969, it was Halford Street. [1969 map].
Edward Street, Annerley, Brisbane	Portland Street	-27.50710, 153.03307	Too many Edward Streets in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Edward Street, Bowen Hills, Brisbane	Jamieson Street	-27.44667, 153.03753	Renamed in 1904 [source].
Edward Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Yarung Street (gone)	approx -27.44641, 153.06711	Too many Edward Streets in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. It is Yarung Street on this 1943 map. But the street has completely disappeared on a 1956 map having been absorbed into the Bulimba Barracks. Edward / Yarung Street was the street immediately north and parallel to Carbeen Street, running from Baldwin Street across Bolan Street and towards (but did not actually connect to) Taylor Street (Carbeen Street did not connect through to Taylor Street either at that time).
Edward Street, Cannon Hill, Brisbane	Yarramba Street (gone)	approx -27.46764, 153.08623	Too many Edward Streets in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories, but no longer appears on current maps as it has been absorbed into Bill Cash Memorial Park. Edward / Yarramba Street commenced at Wynnum Road opposite Stanton Street (probably the park entrance today) and ran NNE (parallel with Barrack Road) until it intersected at a 3-way intersection with Whitworth Road (which crossed the railway line) and Andrews Street (probably a small extension of the current street). See it as Yarramba Street on this 1955 map.
Edward Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Lawley Street	-27.39632, 153.03014	Too many Edward Streets in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Edward Street, Nashville / Sandgate, Brisbane	Borella Street		Too many Edward Streets in Brisbane. In 1938, it was renamed Borella Street according to these [source][source] and this is confirmed by a 1938 map showing it as Edward Street and a 1948 map showing it as Borella Street. This [source] claims Edward Street in Nashville was renamed Jennings Street in 1938 but I cannot find any maps showing this street as Jennings Street.
Edward Street, Rocklea, Brisbane	Carisbrook Street		Too many Edward Streets in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source]. Unfortunately this area is not covered by the 1938 map I am using so I cannot confirm that it was originally Edward Street.
Edward Street, Toowong, Brisbane	Eldridge Street		Too many Edward Streets in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Edward Street, Virginia, Brisbane	Jefferis Street		In 1938, Edward Street was renamed Jeffries Street [source][source] and this is confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, in 1948, it was renamed again to be Jefferis Street [source: Brisbane City Council Archives], a subtle change that appears to have taken a number of years to become adopted by the residents of the street, many of whom persisted in calling it Jeffries Street in the electoral roll in the 1950s. The Council Archives do not indicate why the name was changed in 1948, nor why the new name was so similar to the previous one. Can anyone help?
Edward Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Grantham Street, Dutton Park		Too many Edward Streets in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Edward Street, Woolowin, Brisbane	Madden Street, Albion		Too many Edward Streets in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Edwardstown Street, Humpybong	Redcliffe in the vicinity of George Street	-27.22966, 153.09384	The Tunbridge Wells estate was sold in 1885. [source] Most of the street names on the estate map (apart from George Street) do not exist today. There is one 1902 reference to Edwardstown Street [source], but nothing that helps pin down its exact location. Can you help?
Elfrida Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Elliott Street		Renamed in 1925 [source]
Elizabeth Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	gone		The street layout in this area has undergone considerable change from what appears in the 1948 street directory. Elizabeth Street no longer exists.

Ella Street, New Farm, Brisbane	Hazel Street		Renamed in 1937 to avoid confusion with another Ella Street in New Farm [source]
Ellen Street, Holland Park West, Brisbane	Gower Street		Comparison of 1884 map and current map. [source]
Ellery Street, Wavell Heights, Brisbane	gone		Ellery Street appears in a 1956 street directory but today has been subsumed into Shaw & Mercer Parks. It ran westward (roughly) from Shaw Road to Boree Street.
Ellison Road, Virginia, Brisbane	Ellison Road (shorter)		According to a 1956 street directory, Ellison Road used to terminate at Sandgate Road but today it ends at Bilsen Road.
Elworthy Street, Toowong	Jephson Street		There were too many Church Streets so many were renamed in 1938. Church Street in Toowong was renamed Elworthy Street in 1938 [source]. However, it seems it was soon after renamed Jephson Street [source]. In the 1941 a few people were still listed as living in Elworthy Street but many more are listed as living in Jephson Street.
End Street, South Brisbane area	Woodness Street		Supposedly renamed in 1909 [source] but there is no Woodness Street on current maps and there is an End Street.
Entrance A, Hendra	Bulli Street	-27.418562, 153.074605	Entrance A and its counterpart Entrance B both appear in a 1948 street directory but appear as Bulli and Gadara Streets respectively in a 1956 street directory
Entrance B, Hendra	Gadara Street	-27.417718, 153.074786	Entrance A and its counterpart Entrance B both appear in a 1948 street directory but appear as Bulli and Gadara Streets respectively in a 1956 street directory
Esplanade, Cribb Island, Brisbane	gone		Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
F

Fairfield Road, Dutton Park, Brisbane (northern end)	Cornwall Street		According to 1948 maps, Cornwall Street continued into a straight line west down to the river and the most westerly intersection was with Fairfield Road. However, since 1903, South Brisbane cemetery had been extended into the land between Cornwall Street and Princess Street (west of Fairfield Road) and this section of Cornwall Street was closed as a public road in 1930 and was absorbed into the cemetery (it does not show in a 1956 street directory). The northernmost part of Fairfield Road (north of Princess Street) appears to have been renamed Cornwall Street as part of this process. [source]
Ferry Road, Indooroopilly	Coonan Street	-27.50370, 152.97480	An 1895 map shows Ferry Road immediately west of the railway line, starting at the Wharf Reserve at the Brisbane River and extending north to the Indooroopilly railway station. It is now Coonan Street, which extends further north than Ferry Road did.
Ferry Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Holman Street (west of Main Street)	-27.46586, 153.03492	A 1887 map shows Ferry Street running from the western riverbank (with a ferry connection to the Customs House that still exists to this day) to Main Street, while the segment from Main Street to the eastern riverbank is called Holman Street. However, in the 1917 street directory, the entire street between the two riverbanks is called Holman Street. Probably the reason for the renaming was to avoid confusion with the other Ferry Street in Kangaroo Point (that still exists today but is now L-shaped rather than a straight road down to the river as it was until at least 1956).
Fifth (5th) Avenue, Tarragindi, Brisbane	Lutzow Street	-27.52308, 153.04558	While First through Fourth Avenue at Tarragindi were renamed in 1938, Fifith Avenue remained unchanged and it appears as Fifth Avenue in a 1948 street directory, but it is listed as Lutzow Street in a 1956 street directory. Note in 1948 Lutzow Street only went from Sexton Road to Weller Road, but in 1956 it continues through to Toohey Road, as it does today.
Fifth (5th) Street, Cribb Island	Garvary Street (gone)	approx -27.35971,153.11367 -27.36193,153.11554	Appears as Fifth Street in a 1955 street directory, but it is Garvary Street on this 1959 map. Note it is an L-shaped street including the street named on the map, but also the unnamed street on the 1959 map running to the west of the school. It is not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
First (1st) Avenue, Albion, Brisbane	Blackmore Street, Windsor		Too many First Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
First (1st) Avenue, Baddow, Maryborough	Campbell Street (part of)	-25.52873, 152.68305	Based on comparison of the 1963 and 1968 electoral rolls, First Avenue appears to have bene between Neptune and Tanner Streets and was amalgamated into Campbell Street which was previously only north-west of Neptune Street. Second Avenue will ran parallel to First Avenue appears to have been similarly amalgamated into Edward Street.
First (1st) Avenue, Banyo, Brisbane	Eames Street		Too many First Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. (See also First Street, Banyo, below)
First (1st) Avenue, Boondall, Brisbane	Peacock Street		Too many First Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and supported by comparison of 1938 street directory (index entry but no map) and 1948 street directory.
First (1st) Avenue, Bulimba, Brisbane	Wright Street		Too many First Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed to Poomong Street in 1938 [source][source] which is confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. However on a 1956 street directory and current maps it is called Wright Street. Only First through Fourth Avenues were renamed in 1938; Fifth and Sixth Avenues still remain.
First (1st) Avenue, Chermside, Brisbane	Manitoba Place		There were too many First Avenues in Brisbane so First Avenue in Chermside was renamed Taverner Street in 1938 [source][source] and this is confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, by comparison of 1956 street directory with current maps, First Avenue / Taverner Street would appear to have been renamed Manitoba Place. However, First Avenue / Taverner Street used to connect through to Bilsen Street while Manitoba Place does not. Meanwhile a new First Avenue has been created in Chermside (too far away to be related to the original one).
First (1st) Avenue, Coopers Plains, Brisbane	Keeling Street		Too many First Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
First (1st) Avenue, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Panitya Street, Greenslopes		Too many First Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

First (1st) Street, Cribb Island, Brisbane	Beckton Street (gone)	approx -27.36192,153.11461	Appears as First Street in a 1955 street directory, but it is Beckton Street on this 1959 map. It is not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
First (1st) Avenue, Darra, Brisbane	Warrender Street		Too many First Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
First (1st) Avenue, Eagle Junction, Brisbane	Roseby Avenue, Clayfield		Renamed in 1938 after a noted clergyman of New South Wales [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. There was an earlier proposal to call it Aljon Street in honour of the mayor Alfred Jones who lived in the street, but he didn't like the name.
First (1st) Avenue, Kedron, Brisbane	Lassetter Street		There were too many First Avenues in Brisbane, so it was renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note only the names of First through Fourth Avenue were changed in 1938; the others (Fifth through Fourteenth) remain.
First (1st) Avenue, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Fenwick Street		Too many First Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, at that time First Avenue / Fenwick Street went right through to Samford Road as opposed to the short cul-de-sac that exists to day.
First (1st) Avenue, Murarrie, Brisbane	Tamba Street	-27.46357, 153.10396	Too many First Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

First (1st) Street, Banyo, Brisbane	Gold Street	-27.37504, 153.07451	This 1884 map shows it as First Street. By 1926, a street directory shows it as Gold Street. (See also First Avenue, Banyo, above)


Fish Lane, South Brisbane	Fish Street? or Fish Lane?	-27.47445, 153.01657	Fish Lane was renamed Fish Street in 1927 [source] but still appears as Fish Lane on current maps.
Fitzroy Street, North Rockhampton			In 1925, it was proposed to rename the continuation of Fitzroy Street in North Rockhampton to avoid confusion with the Fitzroy Street on the south side of the city but the new name was not agreed upon [source] but later Toft Street was chosen [source] but evidently not implementd as in 1927 it is proposed to rename it Thorn Street [source]. Perhaps no new name was ever agreed upon as current maps show that Fitzroy Street does still extend across to the north side of the river and there is no Toft Street and, while there is a Thorn Street, it is not a continuation of Fitzroy Street. Or perhaps Queen Elizabeth Drive is the new name (although presumably that name must date from the 1950s).
Fitzroy Street, Park Avenue, Rockhampton	Gough Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with the more major Fitzroy Street on the south side of the city [source]
Fleming Lane, Fairfield, Brisbane	Aylesford Street		According to this [source], Fleming Lane had been renamed Aylesford Street by 1939. However, a 1948 street directory still shows it as Fleming Lane, but a 1956 street directory and current maps show it as Aylesford Street.
Flood Street, Sherwood, Brisbane	Strickland Terrace (southern end) & gone		A 1956 street directory shows Flood Street commencing at the eastern end of Plumer Street (formerly William Street) and then curved southwards following the line of the creek to connect with Thomas Street (which then ran right down to the creek). In 1956 Strickland Terrace commenced at the eastern end of Long Street East and then curved southwards connecting with the eastern end of Central Avenue and Borden Street (was Short Street). The current Strickland Terrace is in two segments, the northern part commencing further north at Strong Avenue with a new section down to Long Street East, while the southern part commences at Central Avenue and extends further south through to Plumer Street and incorporates the northern part of the old Flood Street. The rest of Flood Street, the eastern end of Thomas Street and the section of Strickland Terrace between Long Street East and Central Avenue are not longer streets, but a close-up look at a current map shows walking tracks / bike paths along their former routes. Most likely the frequent flooding of the creek resulted in the loss of these street segments.
Florence Street (part of), Wynnum, Brisbane	Ronald Street		The portion south-west of the railway line was renamed in 1928 [source][source] The north-east portion is still Florence Street.
Forster Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Combles Road		Forster Street was renamed Combles Road prior to 1939 according to [source]. However I cannot find any evidence of Combles Road ever having an earlier name. Can you help?
Fourth (4th) Avenue / Street, Belmont, Brisbane	Koondara Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. The 1938 street directory shows First, Second, Third and Fourth Streets, of which only Second and Fourth appear to have been renamed by 1948. First and Third Streets still exist today.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, Bulimba, Brisbane	Wallara Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Only First through Fourth Avenues were renamed in 1938; Fifth and Sixth Avenues still remain.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Dowar Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, Darra, Brisbane	Ebrington Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, Kedron, Brisbane	Arnott Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Willcocks Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that Fourth / Willcocks used to go through to Samford Road and crossed Main Avenue (now Hay Street) to create a small cul-de-sac (approximately where 6 Hay Street is today); the 1956 street directory shows it as it appears today between Crown Street and Hay Street.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, Murarrie, Brisbane	Andan Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, St Lucia, Brisbane	Townley Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note only the names of First through Fourth Avenue were changed in 1938; the others (Fifth through Eleventh) remain.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, Tarragindi, Brisbane	Fingal Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, Torwood, Brisbane	Tristania Drive?, Toowong		In 1938 Fourth Avenue (which ran from Fifth Avenue in a south-westerly direction down to Stuartholme Road) was renamed Webber street [source][source] and this is confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Webber Street can still be found in the 1956 street directory, but current maps no longer show such a road. Tristania Drive appears to be in same position in terms of the connection to Fifth Avenue but doesn't go through to Stuartholme Road although the small south-westerly cul-de-sac may be the remants of that connection.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, Wilston, Brisbane	Angliss Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Fourth (4th) Avenue, Zillmere, Brisbane	Ardill Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Fourth Street, Cribb Island, Brisbane	Orsett Street (gone)	approx -27.36032,153.11391	Appears as Fourth Street in a 1955 street directory, but it is Orsett Street on this 1959 map. It is not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
Francis Street, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Laird Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. My 1938 street directory lists Francis Street in Ashgrove in the index but does not have a map covering that area to confirm it is the street now known as Laird Street.
Francis Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Boongall Street, Camp Hill		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Francis Steet, Eagle Junction, Brisbane	Milman Street, Clayfield		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that Francis / Milman Street used to connect right through to Jackson Street (the disconnection happened after 1956).
Francis Street, Indooroopilly, Brisbane	Rankin Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Francis Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Anglesey Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Francis Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Huet Street, Nundah / Wavell Heights and gone		In 1938 Francis Street commenced at Shaw Road and ran west and then south-west, where it met Castor Street and then continued further south-west intersecting with Hardacre Street and terminating at an intersection with Roberts and Devereux Streets. In 1938 it was renamed Huet Street [source][source]. The 1948 street directory shows that the name Huet Street has been extended to include the road between Shaw Road and Brooks Street (previously Sylvan Street). Some time after 1956, the parkland we see today (Shaw Park and Mercer Park) has subsumed a number of streets in this area including the SW section of Huet Street after the junction with Castor Street (as well as Hardacre, Roberts and Devereux Streets).
Francis Street, Kedron North, Brisbane	Mellor Street, Kedron		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Francis Street, Kelvin Grove, Brisbane	Ricardo Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Francis Street, Lota, Brisbane	Booner Street & Bethania Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. At this time Francis / Booner Street ran from Railway Terrace straight through to Whites Road. However, today Booner Street goes only from Railway Terrace to Avadne Road. It appears that some time (after 1956) part of Booner Road (between Avadne Road and Toombes Street) was subsumbed into Cox Park. The section of Booner Street from Toombes Street to Whites Road was then combined with Toombes Street (which went from Booner Street to Andrew Street) into the Bethania Street that exists today.
Francis Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	Fincastle Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Francis Street, Newstead, Brisbane	Wyandra Street		Francis Street was probably named after Francis Robert Chester Master who had a large house called Stratton in this area in the 1850s. Commercial Road was once known as Stratton Road. Francis Street was renamed Wyandra Street in 1904 to avoid duplication [source].
Francis Street, Northgate, Brisbane	Pinnock Street (gone)		There were too many Francis Streets so some were renamed in 1938. [source] Pinnock Street appears on a 1956 map, but current maps show it has been replaced by an industrial estate. It ran south-west from Blinzinger Road (now 85 Crockford Road) towards the creek and then turned north-west to join Frederick Street.
Francis Street, Yeronga, Brisbane	Tamworth Street, Annerley		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Franz Road, Hendra, Brisbane	Alexandra Road		In a 1938 street directory, Franz Street is shown as commencing at the railway line and running north while Alexandra Road commenced on the other side of the railway line and ran south. In 1938, approval was given to change the name of Franz Street to Alexandra Road [source] presumably to have the same name along the entire street. However, the 1948 street directory still shows the road north of the railway line as Franz Street, the name which is still in use today. However, at some time after 1956, the section of Railway Parade that ran from Sandgate Road to Alexandra Road was incorporated into Alexandra Road.
Fraser Street, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Kinnaird Street		Renamed at some time after 1959. The reason for the renaming is not known but I suspect there was probably confusion with nearby Frasers Road (which was itself renamed from Stewart Road between 1941 and 1948). The official name of the street is spelled as Frazer Street in titles documents and street directories, yet residents consistently spelled it Fraser Street in electoral rolls and newspapers.
Fraser Terrace (part of), Highgate Hill, Brisbane	Derby Street		Due to gullies, Fraser Terrace was split into two pieces. The eastern piece was absorbed into Derby Street (to which it was connected) in about 1920.
Frazer Street, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Kinnaird Street		Renamed at some time after 1959. The reason for the renaming is not known but I suspect there was probably confusion with nearby Frasers Road (which was itself renamed from Stewart Road between 1941 and 1948). The official name of the street is spelled as Frazer Street in titles documents and street directories, yet residents consistently spelled it Fraser Street in electoral rolls and newspapers.
Frederick Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Hamel Street		Frederick Street had been renamed Hamel Street by 1939 [source]. A 1931 street directory shows Hamel Street so presumably the change happened prior to that but I cannot find any earlier maps of the area.
Fritz Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Wylie Avenue		Originally called Fritz Street when the Wecker Estate was sold in 1884, it had been renamed by 1930 to be Wylie Street. [source] As all of the other German-named streets in the Wecker Estate were renamed due to anti-German sentiment in World War 1, it is likely that this street was also renamed in World War 1. The fact that the last newspaper reference to Fritz Street that I could find was in 1914 [source] and the first newspaper reference to Wylie Avenue is in 1919 [source] would seem to support this theory.
G
Garden Street, North Rockhampton	Williamson Street		Renamed in 1927 [source]
Garsden Street, South Brisbane area	Cairns Street?		Supposedly Cairns Street was renamed Garsden Street in 1909 [source] but it is Cairns Street not Garsden Street that appears on current maps.
Gaythorne Road, Albion / Breakfast Creek, Brisbane	Crosby Road, Albion	-27.432454, 153.045869	A 1919 street directory shows Gaythorne Road starting at Sandgate Road and then going east to a junction with Toorak Road (which does not go that far north today). In 1929 Gaythorne Road was extended through to Anthony Street in Ascot. [source] The name change appears to have occurred about 1930 as a 1931 street directory shows Crosby Road on the map but the list of residents still refers to it as Gaythorne Road. The renaming was probably caused by confusion with Gaythorne Road, Gaythorne (which still exists). Crosby Road was presumably named after Crosby Park (which already existed) on that street. Mr Crosby was a popular post office official who lived in Albion. [source]
Geebung Road, Geebung, Brisbane	Newman Road	-27.36814, 153.04806	Renamed [source][source]. What is not clear is when the renaming occurred. There is a reference to Newman's Road in that area as early as 1886 [source] and references to Geebung Road as late as 1952 [source] and for many years 1922 onwards both names appear in the electoral rolls. Given that Newman Road today is very long, I suspect that the southern part was originally Newman's Road and the northern part was Geebung Road (they might not have even been connected in the early days) and that at some time the name was standardised along the full length of the road.
Geoffrey Street, Merthyr / New Farm	Oxlade Drive	-27.472589, 153.049642	According to a 1926 street directory, River Road went from Sydney Street to Turner Avenue, after which it was called Geoffrey Street from Turner Avenue to Brunswick Street. On 5 September 1927, River Road and Geoffrey Street were both renamed as Oxlade Drive.
George Street, Albion, Brisbane	Anstey Street	-27.43044, 153.04255	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Gailey Street	-27.43861, 152.99556	References to George Street appear in this 1921 newspaper article [source] and in the 1922 electoral roll and is known to intersect with Lindsay Street. The families Graham, McCabe and Peters all live in George Street and were later found to be living in Gailey Street.
George Street, Bowen Hills, Brisbane	Hurworth Street	-27.44806, 153.03650	Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
George Street, Bulimba, Brisbane (see also below)	Bambil Street (gone)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps.
George Street, Bulimba, Brisbane (see also above)	Carbeen Street	-27.44730, 153.06821	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Belmont, Brisbane	Camboor Street	-27.48992, 153.08113	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. View this street on a 1889 map of East Coorparoo.
George Street, Coopers Plains, Brisbane	Hailsham Street (gone)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps. George / Hailsham Street was south of Willingdon Street (similar spacing to the other streets to the north) and of similar length (a cul de sac).
George Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Barradine Street, Greenslopes	-27.50726, 153.05635	Renamed by 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Cribb Island, Brisbane	Elmslie Street (gone)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island was subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
George Street, Kangaroo Point?, Brisbane	Pearson Street	-27.47744, 153.03712	Renamed in 1938. The [source] gives the old and new street name but not the suburb [using best guess]
George Street, Kedron / Chermside, Brisbane	Duff Street, Wavell Heights	-27.39482, 153.04955	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Stafford, Brisbane	Lennon Street	-27.40909, 153.02322	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Newstead, Brisbane	Ross Street	-27.44310, 153.04275	Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
George Street, North Rockhampton	Part Street	-23.36367, 150.52024	Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with another George Street on the south side of Rockhampton [source]
George Street, Rosalie, Brisbane	Agars Street	-27.46672, 152.99682	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Rocklea, Brisbane	Inskip Street	-27.53839, 153.00655	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories
George Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Darling Street	-27.31441, 153.05796	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, South Brisbane area	Schofield Street		Renamed in 1909 [source] but neither name appears on current maps. Can anyone help?
George Street, Spring Hill, Brisbane	Allenby Street	-27.46111, 153.02254	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Sunnybank, Brisbane	Lister Street	-27.23051, 153.01633	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Taringa, Brisbane	Adsett Street	-27.494113, 152.982910	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Virginia, Brisbane	Lisgar Street	-27.37071, 153.05712	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, West End, Brisbane	Cordeaux Street	-27.48885, 153.00085	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Windsor, Brisbane	Northey Street	-27.44223, 153.02778	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Woollongabba, Brisbane	Lockhart Street	-27.48961, 153.02967	Although a 1938 newspaper article says that George Street was renamed Lockhart Street [source], a 1938 street directory and a 1933 map both show that Lockhart Street was formerly St George Street.
George Street, Wooloowin, Brisbane	Rawson Street	-27.41492, 153.04438	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
George Street, Yeronga, Brisbane	Somervell Street	-27.51392, 153.02824	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
German Street, Nundah, Brisbane	Eton Street (east of Sandgate Road)	-27.4000, 153.0592	By comparison with 1882 Nundah Railway Station estate map with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). Both German and Eton Streets are present in Nundah from 1882 onwards, suggesting Eton Street was extended to replace German Street. Since Eton Street is to both the east and west of Sandgate Road today and the 1882 Nundah Railway Station estate was on the east of Sandgate Road, it seems most likely that the western part was always Eton Street and the eastern part was originally German Street. This 1922 letter to the newspaper editor says it was still German Street in about 1909 but changed to Eton Street some time before 1922. Given the time frame, it may have been changed to due to anti-German sentiment during World War I.
Gillespie Street, South Brisbane area	Merton Road?		Supposedly Merton Road was renamed Gillespie Street in 1909 [source] but it is Merton Road not Gillespie Street that appears on current maps.
Glasshouse Mountain Road, Glasshouse Mountains	Steve Irwin Way		Renamed in 2006 after the death of Steve Irwin whose zoo was located on that road [source]
Gore Street, Wavell Heights, Brisbane	gone		In a 1956 Gore Street appears as a north-south street in an area now completely subsumed by Shaw & Mercer Parks.
Grace Street, Newstead, Brisbane	Morse Street	-27.45486, 153.04122	Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]. Note Grace Street is described as coming off Church Street (renamed Wandoo Street at this same time) but today the connection to Wandoo Street has been lost and it is only accessible from Chester Street. The new name honoured Alderman Morse.
Graham Street, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Ashgrove Avenue (segment of)		Ashgrove Avenue (previously Three Mile Scrub Road and possibly Serpentine Avenue) originally had a significant bend along the now Ashgrove Crescent (as seen in the 1917 street directory). In the 1931 through 1956 street directories Graham Street appears as "short-cut" avoiding the longer route. At some point after 1956, Ashgrove Avenue was re-routed to take the more direct route (subsuming Graham Street) and the winding part of Ashgrove Avenue now bypassed was presumably renamed Ashgrove Crescent in consequence. So Graham Street was the segment of the current Ashgrove Avenue between the two intersections with the current Ashgrove Crescent.
Graham Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Piper Street	-27.41896, 153.03063	On a 1931 map, it appears as Graham Street. On a 1938 map it appears as Creek Street. By 1939 it had been renamed Piper Street [source], presumably one of the 14 Creek Streets in Brisbane that were renamed in 1938 [source].
Granville Terrace, Gordon Park, Brisbane	Bedford Street	-27.41800, 153.02314	According to [source], Bedford Street had been renamed Granville Terrace by 1939. However, it appears as Granville Terrace on a 1931 map and a 1938 map but as Bedford Street on a 1948 map and on current maps, so I think the source got the story back-to-front. Note that today Bedford Street starts at Beaconsfield Terrace and continues down past the intersection with Stirling Street, then there is a missing segment and then a short east-west segment off Montrose Street. The longer segment and missing segment were once Granville Terrace; the short segment off Montrose Street was originally Short Street.
Gray Road, South Brisbane area	O'Reilly Street		Supposedly renamed in 1909 [source] but it is Gray Road not O'Reilly Street that appears on current maps.
Gray Street east, Ipswich	Chelmsford Avenue	-27.61932, 152.75723	Renaming proposed in 1907 as part of a tree planting program. [source]
Grays Road, Lower Nudgee, Brisbane	gone		Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
Green Street, West End, Brisbane	Daventry Street (northern part)		The 1938 street directory shows Mary Street running from the river north to Bell Street (now Barnsley Street) with Green Street running from Bell Street to Dornoch Terrace, but the 1948 street directory shows both Mary Street and Green Street being re-named Daventry Street.
Gregory Street, Toowong, Brisbane	Pioneer Street	-27.48227, 152.98520	There was another Gregory Street, and Pioneer Street was the new land because the land there was sold off under the name of the Pioneer Estate.[source]
Green Road, Lower Nudgee, Brisbane	gone		Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
Grenay (Grenenay?) Street, Alderley, Brisbane	Lexington Street	-27.42986, 152.99596	Renamed prior to 1939 [source]. Appears as Lexington Street on my 1938 street directory but Grenenay Street appears in the index. The street does not exist in 1931.
Grey Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	gone		A 1956 map shows Grey Street adjoining Toohey Road in what is now Toohey Forest Park.
Grosvenor Street, Toowong, Brisbane	Bywong Street	-27.4872, 152.9785	Can be seen as Grosvenor Street on this 1895 map but as Bywong Street on current maps. Appears as Grosvenor Street in a 1948 street directory but as Bywong Street in a 1956 street directory. Appears in the 1941 electoral roll as Grosvenor Street while the first entries for Bywong Street are present in the 1949 electoral roll. The last newspaper mention of Grosvenor Street is December 1948 while the first newspaper mention of Bywong Street is in January 1949. This suggests the name change occurred about the start of 1949.
Grove Street, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Dalmore Street	-27.44143, 152.99282	In the 1931 street directory it is Grove Street (note the area was originally called Grove Estate) but confusingly there is a Grove Parade nearby (which is now Frobisher Street). In the 1938 & 1948 street directories both Grove Street and Grove Parade appear to have been renamed Frobisher Street; this seems frankly unlikely and perhaps the map makers were confused about which street had been renamed? In the 1956 street directory the original Grove Street is now called Grove Street again, but the former Grove Parade is still Frobisher Street. Looking at electoral rolls through the period it seems the names in active use are Grove Street and Frobisher Street, which support the theory that it was only Grove Parade that was ever renamed Frobisher Street. However, current maps show Grove Street as Dalmore Street (a change that must have occurred after 1956), and this appears to be the only name change that has actually occured.
Grove Parade, Ashgrove, Brsibane	Frobisher Street	-27.44182, 152.99991	In the 1931 street directory it is Grove Parade (note the area was originally called Grove Estate) but confusingly there is a Grove Street nearby (which is now Dalmore Street). In the 1938 & 1948 street directories both Grove Parade and Grove Street appear to have been renamed Frobisher Street; this seems frankly unlikely and perhaps the map makers were confused about which street had been renamed? In the 1956 street directory Grove Parade is still shown as Frobisher Street, while original Grove Street is now shown as Grove Street again. Looking at electoral rolls through the period it seems the names in active use are Frobisher Street and Grove Street, which support the theory that it was only Grove Parade that was ever renamed Frobisher Street.
Guelph Street, Jubilee, Brisbane	Jubilee Park	-27.45268, 152.98216	Guelph Street appears on the Jubilee Estate map of 1897 [source] running east-west between Empress Terrace and Crown Street (at about the point of the slight kink in Crown Street). It appears on maps and street directories until at least 1938. However, in a 1948 street directory Guelph Street has disappeared and a unnamed park is shown. There is no evidence in the electoral roll of anyone living in Guelph Street although there is one newspaper reference to land at Guelph Street in 1923 [source]. As all original streets in the Jubilee Estate had royal connections (it was established at the time of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee), it is worth knowing that "guelph" means a member of a princely family of Swabian origin from which the British royal house is descended through George I [source].
H
Haddon Street, Chermside, Brisbane	St Lawrence Street, Wavell Heights	-27.38227, 153.05101	There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane and so Second Avenue in Chermside was renamed Haddon Street in 1938 [source][source] and this is confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. However comparison between the 1956 street directory and current maps suggests Haddon Street has been subsequently renamed St Lawrence Street.
Hall Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	McLachlan Street		Windmell Street (from James Street to Brunswick Street) and Hall Street (from Brunswick Street to Bowen Terrace) were renamed into a single street called McLachlan Street in 1925 [source][source]
Hall Street, North Rockhampton	Tomkins Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with another Hall Street on the south side of the city [source]
Halloran Street, Caboolture	gone / never built?	-27.0835, 152.9557	A circa 1888 Caboolture estate map shows Halloran, Sinnott and Lagoon Streets being east of Battersby Street (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). These streets are mentioned in the 1889 advertising of the land sale but, while Battersby Street exists to this day), I cannot find any subsequent mention of these other three streets and there are not 3 streets to the east of Battersby Street. Perhaps the land sale was unsuccessful and the land was subsquently developed in a different way.
Hamilton Place, Bowen Hill, Brisbane (northern part)	Mayne Road	-27.4466, 153.0359	According to a circa 1885 map, there may have been section of Hamilton Place north of Campbell Terrace which is now Mayne Road (courtesy of Queensland State Library).
Hamilton Road, Hamilton, Brisbane	Kingsford Smith Drive		The road from Breakfast Creek to the Pinkenba level crossing (known as Hamilton Road until the junction with Racecourse Road and then Eagle Farm Road beyond that) was renamed in 1953 in honour of Charles Kingsford Smith. Ironically, that road had been renamed Bailey Memorial Drive in 1938 after J.F. Bailey (curator of the Botanic Gardens) but that name had not been used. [source]
Hampson Street, Red Hill, Brisbane	Lower Clifton Terrace		In 1921, Hampson Street was renamed Lower Clifton Terrace, the name it had been in use 50 years ago. [source] A new Hampson Street was created in the Kelvin Grove area.
Hanover Street, Newtown, Ipswich	Lusitania Street		Probably renamed during the first World War following the sinking of the RMS Lusitania and definitely by 1922 (new name appears in electoral roll)
Happy Valley Road, Kedron / Gordon Park / Stafford / Everton Park, Brisbane	Stafford Road		This 1895 McKellar map shows it as "Stafford Road OR Happy Valley Road". I can find the Happy Valley Road name in use as late as 1946 in the Everton Park area. The suburb of Stafford was originally called Happy Valley [source] and is presumably the origin of the road name.
Hardacre Street, Wavell Heights, Brisbane	gone		Hardacre Street appears in a 1956 street directory but now has been subsumed by Shaw & Mercer parks. It meandered westward (it was not at all straight) from Shaw Road towards the direction of Bennelong Street (but never joined it).
Hawthorne Road, Hawthorne, Brisbane	Uhlmann Street		Comparing an 1885 map with a current map we discover that Hawthorne Road became Uhlmann Street, probably so that the old Bulimba Road could become the current Hawthorne Road [source]
Henry Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	Scanlan Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
Henry Street, Northgate, Brisbane	gone		The streets in this area have been subsumed into large industrial estates.
Henry Street, Park Avenue, Rockhampton	Thackeray Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with another Henry Street on the south side of the city [source]
Henry Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Fifth Avenue	-27.31655, 153.07032	In 1913, the council decided to rename Petty, Wilson, Cooksley, Henry, and Tully streets to be First, Second, Third, Fifth and Sixth Avenues respectively. [source] But it leaves us wondering about the origins of Fourth Avenue.
Herbert Street, Spring Hill, Brisbane	Astor Terrace		Renamed in 1937 [source]
Heussler Terrace, Auchenflower / Milton, Brisbane (part of)	Haig Road Birdwood Terrace Sir Samuel Griffith Drive		Heussler Terrace originally ran from Castlemaine Street to Mt Cootha Road. The section of Heussler Terrace (from Baroona Road to Rathdonnell Street) was renamed Haig Road at some time after 1916 [source: a reader] and 1919 based on this newspaper article [source]. The section of Hussler Terrace (from Rathdonnell Street to Sir Samuel Griffith Drive as it is today) was renamed Birdwood Terrace around 1918. The small north-south segment from the now Birdwood Terrace to Mt Coot-tha Road is now part of Sir Samuel Griffith Drive (but appears as Simpson Road in a 1931 street directory). Heussler Terrace is still so named from Castlemaine Street to Baroona Road.
Higgins Street, Cribb Island, Brisbane	gone		Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
High Street, Koongal, Rockhampton	Stack Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with another High Street on the south side of the city [source]
Hilderstone Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	St Vincents Hospital (gone)		Hilderstone Street was a short street running west from Main Street, roughly half way between the intersection with Cairns Street and the intersection with Shafston Avenue. It appears in the 1956 street directory but appears to have been subsequently subsumed into Mt Olivet Hospital (Hospice) which was renamed St Vincents Hospital in 2010.
Hill Street, Belmont, Brisbane	Allambie Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note there was also a Hill Crescent in Belmont (now Carina Heights).
Hill Street, Clayfield, Brisbane	Creswick Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Not to be confused with a nearby Hill Street in Wooloowin (now Stopford Street).
Hill Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Armuna Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Although Armuna Street appears in the 1948 street directory, the street appears unnamed in the 1931 and 1938 street directories, so the previous name of Hill Street cannot be confirmed.
Hill Street, Dunellan, Brisbane	Drummond Street, Greenslopes		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Hill Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	Antrim Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Hill Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Childers Street (3 segments)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. The 1938 street directory shows Hill Street running between Gympie Road and Pfingst Street. In the 1948 street directory, Hill Street is shown as having been split by the Wavell Heights High School, with the western segment (to Gympie Road) being called Childers Street and the eastern segment to Pfingst Street still called Hill Street (but curiously Hill Street does not appear in the street index of that directory). A 1956 map shows the two segments both called Childers Street. Current maps show that the western segment has been split (separated by a creek with what appears to be a pedestrian bridge), making 3 segments today.
Hill Street, Kedron?, Brisbane	Erskine Avenue		Renamed in 1938. The [source] gives the old and new street name but not the suburb [using best guess based on 1956 map].
Hill Street, Kelvin Grove, Brisbane	Dalley Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Hill Lane, Newmarket, Brisbane	Crane Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Hill Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	Loraine Street (gone)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Although Hill Street in Moorooka is listed in the street index in the 1931 and 1938 street directories, that area is not covered by the maps. In the 1948 street directory, there are still no maps of the area but Hill Street no longer appears in the index but Loraine Street does (with the note that is "off Toohey Road"). A 1956 map shows Loraine Street as a street adjoining Toohey Road in what is now Toohey Forest Park.
Hill Street, Nundah, Brisbane	Calvert Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Hill Street, Rosalie, Brisbane	Daintree Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Hill Street, Taringa, Brisbane	Darvall Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Hill Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Athlone Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Hill Street, Wooloowin, Brisbane	Stopford Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Not to be confused with a nearby Hill Street in Clayfield (now Creswick Street).
Hill Street, Wynnum, Brisbane	Alkoomie Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Hill End Road, South Brisbane	Montague Road		Montague Road is shown on an 1865 Brisbane map as being only a short street between Boundary Street and Stanley Street. From Boundary Street back towards Highgate Hill the now Montague Road is called Hill End Road. [source]
Holingside Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	St Vincents Hospital (gone)		The 1956 street directory shows Holingside Street as a very short street (about 50 metres) running west from Main Street but not through to the river, roughly aligned with Prospect Street but a little further south. It would appear to have been absorbed at some stage into the northern end of Mt Olivet Hospital (Hospice) which became St Vincents Hospital in 2010. This street does not appear in many of my earlier street directories (but small streets are often omitted due to space reasons). However, in this 1887 map, the section of Prospect Street to the west of Main Street appears to be in much the same position as Holingside Street in 1956 (although Prospect Street extended right down to the river) so possibly it was formerly Prospect Street.
Holme Avenue, Banyo	Holme Avenue	-27.35331, 153.06653	In a 1948 street directory, Holme Avenue connected Wellington Road (now Stanworth Road) to Bridgeman Road (now Northumbria Road. Today, Holme Avenue ends where College Way begins and Northumbria Road is also shorter than it was, also terminated at its junction with College Way. Note College Way and the associated suburban development did not exist in 1948.
Hop Wah Road, Bungalow/Earlville, Cairns	Mulgrave Road	-16.94213, 145.73996	Hop Wah Road led to the Hop Wah sugar plantation and mill. After the plantation closed, the road was renamed in 1911 to be Mulgrave Road as the road leads to the Mulgrave River. [source] However, the Hop Wah Road name persists in newspapers and electoral rolls for many decades after this, suggesting it remained in popular usage.
Hope Street, Fairfield, Brisbane	FJ O'Grady Memorial Park (gone)	-27.5065, 153.0227	A 1959 map shows Hope Street running north-south between Victoria Street and Brougham Street (to the east of Crutchley Street). That area is now part of the FJ O'Grady Memorial Park. The street has been replaced by the park by the late 1960s.
Hope Street (part of), South Brisbane	South Brisbane Railway Station Colchester Street	-27.47953, 153.02108	A 1919 map shows Hope Street running from the Milton Reach of the Brisbane River through to Vulture Street. However, the expansion of South Brisbane railway station closed part of Hope street [source], splitting it into two segments, visible in a 1931 street directory. In a 1948 street directory both segments were still called Hope Street, but at some time soon after that, the southern segment was renamed Colchester Street. The earliest reference I can find to Colchester Street is in 1952 [source]. The rest of Hope Street remains further to the north, but no longer extends.
Huet Street, Wavell Heights, Brisbane	partly gone		In 1938 Francis Street commenced at Shaw Road and ran west and then south-west, where it met Castor Street and then continued further south-west intersecting with Hardacre Street and terminating at an intersection with Roberts and Devereux Streets. In 1938 it was renamed Huet Street [source][source]. The 1948 street directory shows that the name Huet Street has been extended to include the road between Shaw Road and Brooks Street (previously Sylvan Street). Some time after 1956, the parkland we see today (Shaw Park and Mercer Park) has subsumed a number of streets in this area including the SW section of Huet Street after the junction with Castor Street (as well as Hardacre, Roberts and Devereux Streets).
I
Ipswich Road, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Main Street	-27.47527, 153.03560	This 1865 map of Kangaroo Point shows it as Ipswich Road but an 1887 map shows it as Main Street. From Woolloongabba Fiveways onwards it is still Ipswich Road.
Irving Street, Hamilton, Brisbane	Balowrie Street	-27.437122, 153.065862	Appears on a 1907 map as William Street, in street directories from 1917 to 1948 as Irving Street, with Balowrie Street being mentioned in a March 1949 newspaper advertisement. Not to be confused with William Street in Breakfast Creek (now Higgs Street, Albion).
Irving Street, Newmarket, Brisbane	Baradine Street	-27.4368, 153.0097	Irving Street appears in a 1948 street directory but the last newspaper mention I an find of it is in July 1951. [source] The first mention as Baradine Street occurs in September 1952. [source]
Irving Street, Torwood, Brisbane	Bangalla Street, Auchenflower	-27.47132, 152.99640	The name change occurred about 1948 as the last newspaper references to Irving Street appear in September 1948 [source] and the earlier reference to Bangalla Street is in November 1948 [source]. Name change is also confirmed by this newspaper advertisement mention of both names [source] and by comparison of the 1948 and 1956 street directories.
Isaac Street, Auchenflower, Brisbane	Bayliss Street	-27.47841, 152.99348	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 strret directories.
Isles Street, Mount Pleasant /Holland Park	Oxley Drive/Wilbur Street	-27.511697, 153.059570	According to a 1926 street directory, Isles Street ran from Raff Street to Love Street to Oxley Drive (at the intersection of present day Wilbur Street) and through to Abbotsleigh Street. On 16 July 1926, the segments of Isles Street from Raff Street to Oxley Drive were renamed as Oxley Drive. It is not clear when the segment to Abbotsleigh Street was renamed but it appears as Wilbur Street on current maps.
Ithaca Parade, Jubilee, Brisbane	Fletcher Parade, Bardon	-27.44985, 152.98416	A short segment of Ithaca Parade (from Coopers Camp Road to Coronation Street) can be seen on the Jubilee Estate map of 1897 [source] and a 1917 street directory shows Ithaca Parade from Coopers Camp Road to Jubilee Terrace, roughly following the line of the creek. However, in the 1931 street directory, Ithaca Parade has been replaced by Fletcher Parade.
Ivy Street, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Northmore Street	-27.40511, 152.97500	In 1948, Ivy Street ran from Keylar Street to Blackwood Street while Northmore Street ran only from Kedron Avenue (now McConaghy Street) down to the Kedron Brook Creek (Northmore Street had been known as Creek Street until 1938/1939) with no connection between Blackwood Street and Kedron Avenue (McConaghy Street). However, a 1956 map shows that connection has been added and that Northmore Street runs from Keylar Street right down to the creek.
J
Jackson Street, Holland Park, Brisbane	Contay Street	-27.51935, 153.06445	In 1926, the Tarana Estate subdivision was advertised with an estate map showing Jackson Street. It is now Contay Street. Brisbane City Council records suggest the renaming occurred on 19 October 1928. The new name can be seen in this 1937 map.
Jackson Street, Sunnybank, Brisbane	Chilton Street		Renamed in 1938 [source]
James Street, Alderley (near Enoggera), Brisbane	Huddart Street		One of the 16 James Streets renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 streeet directories. Note there was another James Street in Alderley (now Trackson Street -- see below).
James Street, Alderley (near Newmarket), Brisbane	Trackson Street		Renamed in 1929 [source] to avoid confusion with another James Street in Alderley (now Huddart Street -- see above).

James Street, Eagle Junction, Brisbane	Kemble Street, Clayfield		One of the 16 James Streets renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that James / Kemble Street was longer than it is today. It used to go almost through to Park Avenue, intersecting with William Street (now Fitzroy Street).
James Street, Kelvin Grove, Brisbane	Bainbridge Street (does not exist?!)		According to this [source], James Street in Kelvin Grove was renamed Bainbridge (a claim not supported by any map I could find). I believe that this source has typos and that it was Jane Street in Kelvin Grove that was renamed Banbridge Street in 1938.
James Street, Lota, Brisbane	Belgamba Street		One of the 16 James Streets renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

James Street, Morningside, Brisbane	Beelarong Street		One of the 16 James Streets renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that today Beelarong exists in a number of segments running between Thynne Road and Junction Road, yet it is shown in 1956 as a single straight road; perhaps drainage works have been required, creating the current disconnected segments.
James Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Ballarat Street		One of the 16 James Streets renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Jane Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	Robertson Street		Jane Street was renamed Robertson Street in 1934, because there was too much confusion between Jane Street and nearby James Street. [source][source]

Jane Street, Kelvin Grove, Brisbane	Banbridge Street		One of the Jane Streets renamed in 1938 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.Curiously this name change is not listed here [source] (instead it says that James Street was renamed Bainbridge Street but this is not confirmed by any street directory, so I believe it is a pair of typos).
Jane Street, Manly, Brisbane	Benalla Street		One of the Jane Streets renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Jane Street, Mitchelon, Brisbane	Kennion Street		One of the Jane Streets renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Kennion Street appears in the 1948 street directory, but unfortunately the street is not labelled in the 1931 or 1938 street directories to confirm that it was formerly Jane Street.
Jane Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Berguna Street, Wishart (gone)		One of the Jane Streets renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. There is no Berguna Street in current maps; it has been replaced with housing. [source]

Jeffries Street, Viriginia, Brisbane	Jefferis Street		In 1938, Edward Street was renamed Jeffries Street [source][source] and this is confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, in 1948, it was renamed again to be Jefferis Street [source: Brisbane City Council Archives], a subtle change that appears to have taken a number of years to become adopted by the residents of the street, many of whom persisted in calling it Jeffries Street in the electoral roll in the 1950s. The Council Archives do not indicate why the name was changed in 1948, nor why the new name was so similar to the previous one. Can anyone help?
John Street, Albion, Brisbane	Bonython Street		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note the suburb may be Albion or Windsor.
John Street, Bardon, Brisbane	Bousfield Street		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
John Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Karthina Street		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that Karthina Street once went a bit further to the east than it currently does; presumably that section was resumed for the military base.
John Street, Buranda, Brisbane	Deshon Street, Woolloongabba		Apparently John Street had been approved to be renamed Deshon Street by 1938 [source][source]. However, Deshon Street already appears in a 1931 street directory and there are references to Deshon Street "off Logan Road" as early as 1900 [source]. I cannot find any evidence of the street ever being called John Street. Perhaps, as it is a crooked street, part of it was originally called John Street and the name Deshon was extended to encompass all of it? Can anyone help? It is also worth noting that Deshon Street terminated at the creek (as shown in street directories from 1931 through to 1956), but today it extends across the creek and terminates at Eighth Avenue.
John Street, Clayfield, Brisbane	Batman Street		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1931 and 1948 street directories. The 1938 street directory shows the street as Wongarra Street, which appears to be a confusion with the other John Street of Clayfield that was renamed Wongara Street.
John Street, Clayfield, Brisbane	Wongara Street		John Street appears in the 1931 street directory, but it is renamed Wongara Street in the 1938 street directory. Not to be confused with the other John Street of Clayfield that was renamed Batman Street.

John Street, Cribb Island, Brisbane	Higgins Street (gone)		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Higgins Street appears in the 1948 street directory, but unfortunately the earlier additions don't have maps for Cribb Island to confirm that it was original John Street. Cribb Island no longer exists as a suburb as it was resumed for Brisbane Airport.
John Street, Graceville, Brisbane	Allardyce Street		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.

John Street, Morningside, Brisbane	Barwon Street		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. Today Barwon Street is in a number of segments, but John / Barwon Street originally ran from Thynne Road through to Junction Road.
John Street, Myrtletown, Brisbane	Brownlee Street		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Brownlee Street appears in 1948 street directories, but this area is not covered by maps in the 1938 street directory, but it does mention John Street of Myrtletown in the index. So the original name of John Street is not confirmed, but seems probable.
John Street, New Farm, Brisbane	Berwick Street, Fortitude Valley		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
John Street, Newstead, Brisbane	Durong Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
John Street, Nundah, Brisbane	Beeby Street, Wavell Heights		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source]; however, while there is a Beeby Street in Wavell Heights in the 1948 street directory, there is no street at that location shown in the 1938 street directory, so there is no evidence that it was originally called John Street. And there are 2 other John Street's in Nundah!
John Street, Nundah, Brisbane	Evatt Street, Wavell Heights		One of the John Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. Not to be confused with the 2 other John Street's in Nundah!

Johnson Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	Dinmore Street	-27.53805, 153.02129	By comparison of this 1889 map of Moorooka Park estate and current maps.
Johnstone Street, Stratford, Cairns Region	Hardwick Street	-16.87792, 145.72761	Named Lily Street in an 1927 subdivision.[source] This 1971 map shows the street as Johnstone Street. It was later renamed Hardwick Street after a farmer on the Kamerunga Road.[source] I cannot find any mentions of Lily Street in Stratford in electoral rolls and newspapers, but the Hardwick family have a farm called Lilybank in Stratford in the 1940s and 1950s, which may be linked to the names of Lily Street and Hardwick Street. There is one entry in 1949 electoral roll for Johnstone Street and a newspaper advertisment mentions it in 1951 [Mixed flowers for sale]; there are more electoral roll entries in 1959. The earliest mention of Hardwick Street in Stratford that I could find is in the 1969 electoral rolls in which the Hardwick family is no longer listed as living at Lilybank. Probably Lilybank was a farm that was subdivided in the 1960s for housing and the street name was changed at that time (although it seems the 1971 map had not been updated despite the Hardwick Street name being in use by 1969). The name Johnstone Street was very similar to Johnston Street in Stratford (runs immediately south and parallel with the Captain Cook Highway) and it would appear the two streets co-existed for some years, presumably causing confusion which might explain the renaming to Hardwick Street. I note there is a Lily Street in Cairns North, so the motivation for the earlier name change may have been to avoid that confusion. I also note that Lily/Johnstone/Hardwick street is in two segments separated by a creek (with no sign of a bridge or other method of crossing today) and it comes from Kamerunga Road.
Judge Street, Petrie Terrace, Brisbane	Judge Street		A1914? map shows the portion of Judge Street between Hale Street and Castlemaine Street being resumed to create Lang Park (now Suncorp Stadium). [source] In 1925, the remaining part of Judge Street (between Petrie Terrace and Hale Street) was renamed to Long Street at the request of the residents because of the "opprobrium" attached to the old name [source][source]. The nature of the opprobrium is not clear, but might be the association with the old Petrie Terrace Gaol [source]. However, at some time between 1948 and 1951, it appears to revert to Judge Street (which appears on current maps)
Julia Street, Northgate, Brisbane	gone		This area is now a number of large industrial sites.
Junction Street, Banyo, Brisbane	gone	-27.37755, 153.07814	This area is now an industrial estate. See this 1884 [map] (note, North is downwards).
Junction Street, Stones Corner, Brisbane	Stoneham Street		The proximity of this Junction Street to another Junction Street was the subject of complaint in 1938 [source] but both streets are still shown on a 1956 map. However, current maps show that the Junction Street at Stone's Corner was renamed Stoneham Street.
K
Kaiser Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Rees Avenue	-27.50146, 153.05603	Renamed in 1915 presumably due to anti-German sentiment in World War 1. [source] This street was originally in the Wecker estate (see above).
Kate Street (part of), Shorncliffe, Brisbane	Pier Avenue	-27.32481, 153.08204	Kate Street (from Friday Street to Sunday Street, now Park Parade) was renamed Pier Avenue in 1913. [source][source][source] Kate Street (from Barton Street to Friday Street) appears on an 1919 street map as Lower Kate Street but simply as Kate Street in a 1931 street directory. Presumably with the renaming of the more elevated part of the street to Pier Avenue, the use of "lower" became unnecessary.
Kauri Road (part of), Ashgrove, Brisbane	Glenlyon Road (part of)	-27.44398, 152.97942	Comparison of circa 1924 map with current map shows the north-south section of Kauri Road has been amalgamated into an extension of Glenlyon Drive [source] most likely following the redevelopment of the Glenlyon House.
Kaye Street (part of), Bardon, Brisbane	Boundary Road (part of)	-27.46095, 152.98827	The 1956 street directory shows Kaye Street commencing at the intersection of MacGregor Terrace, Fernberg Street and Soudan Street and continuing south to Warburton Street (formerly Main Street). At some later time Boundary Road was extended up through this area and the section of Kaye Street between Soudan and Shaw Streets was subsumed into this new Boundary Road.
Kedron Avenue (part of), Mitchelton, Brisbane	McConaghy Street	-27.4059, 152.9768	A 1948 shows that Kedron Avenue as running from Samford Road all the way north to Kedron Brook Creek (despite being interrupted by the Mitchelton railway station). However, in a 1956 map, Kedron Avenue is shown as only being the small segment from Samford Road to the Mitchelton Railway station and the road from the railway station to the creek has been renamed McConaghy Street.
Kedron Road, Grange, Brisbane	Thomas Street	-27.42808, 153.01447	Shown on Kedron Road on this 1895 McKellar map, but this 1904 map has it as Thomas Street.
Keillor Street, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Meston Street	-27.41498, 152.97202	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. It was named after Archibald Meston.
Kennedy Street, North Rockhampton	Johnson Street	-23.32411, 150.50091	Renamed in 1927 [source]
Kennedy Street, Rockhampton	Littler Street	-23.38719, 150.48890	Renamed in 1927 [source]
King Street, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Piddington Street	-27.44592, 152.97116	One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, Banyo, Brisbane	Meymot Street	-27.37314, 153.07158	This 1884 map shows it as Second Street (not to be confused with a separate Second Avenue). By 1926, a street directory shows it as King Street. It was one of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, Brisbane	Albert Street	-27.46906, 153.02470	Late in 1910, Albert Street was renamed King Street (to complement Queen Street) but early in 1911 it was changed back to Albert Street as the residents didn't like the new name. [source]
King Street, Cannon Hill, Brisbane	Goolara Street	-27.47167, 153.07987	One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, East Brisbane, Brisbane	Lisburn Street	-27.48806, 153.04189	One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, Gaythorne, Brisbane	Burdekin Street	-27.41625, 152.98191	One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, Holland Park, Brisbane	Arabilia Street	-27.51722, 153.06356	One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Castlebar Street	-27.47587, 153.03931	One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Maudsley Street	-27.40294, 153.02886	One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, Koongal, Rockhampton	Stenhouse Street	-23.37208, 150.55477	Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with King Street on the south side of Rockhampton [source]
King Street, Lota, Brisbane	Arakurta Street	-27.47289, 153.18173	One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, Newstead, Brisbane	Byres Street	-27.44753, 153.04380	Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
King Street, Virginia, Brisbane	Morphett Street (gone)		One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, Morphett Street no longer exists today; it appears to have been subsumed by an industry site.
King Street, West End, Brisbane	Lower Hardgrave Road	-27.48791, 153.00588	In the 1938 and earlier street directories, there was a north-south street in West End called Hardgrave Road at the north and King Street at the south. In 1938, the whole street was named Hardgrave Road [source][source]. It is not clear at exactly what point the street name changed, but the cramped writing of the name King Street seems to suggest it may have been as little as the segment between Ryan Street and Gray Road. The whole street appears as Hardgrave Road in 1948 and 1956 street directories, but current maps call the southern end of the street Lower Hardgrave Road (presumably reflecting the fall of the land from the ridge at Dornoch Terrace).
King Street, Windsor, Brisbane	Maygar Street	-27.42656, 153.02747	One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, Wynnum, Brisbane	Glenora Street	-27.43675, 153.16900	One of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
King Street, (somewhere in) Brisbane			In 1938, 14 King Streets in Brisbane were renamed, but I have identified only 13 of them above. Was the count in error or is there still another renamed King Street to find?! [Trove]
Kirkup Street, Alderley, Brisbane	Clifford Street		Apparently renamed prior to 1939 [source]. Unfortunately I cannnot find a Clifford Street in Alderley today or in any previous map; there is a Clifford Street in Stafford (which seems to have been known as Clifford Avenue earlier) although it seems a bit of a stretch that a document issued by the Brisbane City Council would have considered that street to be in Alderley. I cannot find any Kirkup Street in Brisbane in any street directory. Consequently I am somewhat dubious about the whole thing. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Kitchener Street, Manly	Blackwood Street, Manly West	-27.4586, 153.1740	Appears as Kitchener Street on the Graveston Estate map of 1917 but also as Blackwood Street in an 1917 street directory (courtesy of State Library of Queensland).
Kob Street, Albion	Marne Road	-27.4254, 153.0395	Described as "Marne-road, late Kob-street" in 1920.[Trove] Kob street (and not Marne Road) appears in the 1913 electoral roll so the name change occurred between these dates.
L
Lagoon Street, Caboolture	gone / never built?	-27.0835, 152.9557	A circa 1888 Caboolture estate map shows Halloran, Sinnott and Lagoon Streets being east of Battersby Street (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). These streets are mentioned in the 1889 advertising of the land sale but, while Battersby Street exists to this day), I cannot find any subsequent mention of these other three streets and there are not 3 streets to the east of Battersby Street. Perhaps the land sale was unsuccessful and the land was subsquently developed in a different way.
Landsborough Street, Toowong, Brisbane	Landsborough Terrace (part of)	-27.4826, 152.9949	Paradise Avenue appears in a 1917 map as a short east-west street off River Road (now Coronation Drive) terminating at a small creek (which we cannot see on modern maps, but is about half way between Coronation Drive and the railway line). Today Paradise Avenue is the section of Landsborough Terrace beside the Regatta Hotel. No other parts of the present day Landborough Terrace are visible in the 1917 map. However, on a 1931 map, we see all of the present Landsborough Terrace but shown as three separately named segments. Theresa Street is the north-south section of Landsborough Terrace off Sylvan Road, which gives access to the east-west Landsborough Street which runs between the railway line and the creek, and then Paradise Avenue from the creek to River Road (Coronation Drive) unchanged from the 1917 map. The 1931 map does not show if there is a bridge/connection across the creek, but a 1938 map seems to suggest that the creek is still separating Landsborough Street and Paradise Avenue. The three separately named streets are still visible in a 1975 street directory, but appear as the single Landsborough Terrace in a 1990 street directory. [source]
Laneway, Holloways Beach, Cairns	Hibiscus Lane	-16.84028, 145.74089	Renamed to be consistent with the floral naming of local streets. [source] There are mentions of Hibiscus Lane in the 1969 electoral roll, but not in the 1959 electoral roll, so the change presumably occurred between those years.
Lang Street, Annerley, Brisbane	Rusk Street Tamar Street Mildmay Street, Fairfield Ensign Avenue Equity Street Lagonda Street	-27.5007, 153.0296 -27.5025, 153.0292 -27.5076, 153.0283 -27.5053, 153.0291 -27.5090, 153.0285 -27.5115, 153.0276	In the 1956 street directory, Lang Street runs north-south from Cornwall Street to Venner Road, although the railway line passes through parts of it. On current maps, it has been renamed as a number of separate segments. Starting from the north, it is Rusk Street from Cornwall Street to Annerley Road, then Tamar Street from Annerley Road to the intersection with Wilkins Street (where the train line passes through it. Then, as the railway ran along the middle of Lang Street, there are now two parallel segments. On the western side of the railway line, it has become Mildmay Street from the intersection with Wilkins Street down to Ashby Street. On the eastern side of the railway line, it has become Ensign Avenue from the intersection with Wilkins Street down to the intersection with Denham Street. There is then a gap on the eastern side (as the railway is on the eastern-side of the old Lang Street), and then it resumes as Equity Street from Cronin Street (was Riverview Terrace) to Dudley Street. Then it is Lagonda Street from Dudley Street to Vennor Road.
Lavis Street, Redlynch, Cairns	Tenni Street		Renamed in 1952 to avoid confusion with Lavis Road in Freshwater. [source]
Leamington Street, off Leonard Street, South Brisbane area	Burton Street		Supposedly Leamington Street was renamed Burton Street in 1909 [source] but it is Leamington Street and not Burton Street that appears on current maps.
Leichhardt Street (part of), Spring Hill, Brisbane	St Paul's Terrace		In 1929 it was proposed to rename Leichhardt Street from Boundary Street to Bowen Hills, keeping the name Leichhardt Street between Wickham Street and Spring Hill. [source]. This proposal would appear to have been successful at some time as there is a reference to the name change on this 1932 map [source] and current maps show the street name changes to "St Paul's Terrace" at Boundary Street through to Bowen Hills.
Lilian Street, Wilston, Brisbane	Uxbridge Street, Grange	-27.4250, 153.0200	Appears as Lilian Street in the 1948 street directory and in the 1949 street directory, but as Uxbridge Street in the 1959 street directory. My informant believes the name changed between 1956 and 1962, so the name probably changed between 1956 and 1959.
Lillian Street, Taringa, Brisbane	Marmion Parade (extension)		A 1948 street directory shows Lillian Street ran east-west between Mt Coot-tha Road (now Moorak Street) and Harrys Road, while Marmion Parade ran east-west between Mt-Cootha Road (now Moorak Street) and Woodstock Street. The name Marmion Parade now applies from Harrys Road to Woodstock Street.
Lillian Street, Yeerongpilly	Varley Street	-27.5284, 153.0115	By comparison of 1885 New London Estate map with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). Historically Lillian Street was shorter, being between Ethel Street and Pulle Street, but now (as Varley Street) it extends from Tennyson Memorial Drive through to Fairfield Road. It is still Lillian Street in an 1948 street directory, in the 1949 electoral rolls and in 1954 newspaper advertisement, but Varley Street appears in the 1959 electoral rolls, so the change happened between these dates.
Lily Street, Stratford, Cairns Region	Hardwick Street	-16.87792, 145.72761	Named Lily Street in an 1927 subdivision.[source] This 1971 map shows the street as Johnstone Street. It was later renamed Hardwick Street after a farmer on the Kamerunga Road.[source] I cannot find any mentions of Lily Street in Stratford in electoral rolls and newspapers, but the Hardwick family have a farm called Lilybank in Stratford in the 1940s and 1950s, which may be linked to the names of Lily Street and Hardwick Street. There is one entry in 1949 electoral roll for Johnstone Street and a newspaper advertisment mentions it in 1951 [Mixed flowers for sale]; there are more electoral roll entries in 1959. The earliest mention of Hardwick Street in Stratford that I could find is in the 1969 electoral rolls in which the Hardwick family is no longer listed as living at Lilybank. Probably Lilybank was a farm that was subdivided in the 1960s for housing and the street name was changed at that time (although it seems the 1971 map had not been updated despite the Hardwick Street name being in use by 1969). The name Johnstone Street was very similar to Johnston Street in Stratford (runs immediately south and parallel with the Captain Cook Highway) and it would appear the two streets co-existed for some years, presumably causing confusion which might explain the renaming to Hardwick Street. I note there is a Lily Street in Cairns North, so the motivation for the earlier name change may have been to avoid that confusion. I also note that Lily/Johnstone/Hardwick street is in two segments separated by a creek (with no sign of a bridge or other method of crossing today) and it comes from Kamerunga Road.
Little George Street, Newstead, Brisbane	Small Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
Little Ross Street, Rockhampton	Bartlem Street		Renamed about 1951 [source]
Little Virginia Avenue, Hawthorne, Brisbane	Aaron Avenue		Renamed prior to 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Presumably the original name related to adjacent Virginia Avenue and that confusion between them was the motivation for the renaming.
Little Windmell / Windmill Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	MacLachan Street (between James Street and Connor Street)	-27.4563, 153.0383	Windmell Street (from James Street to Brunswick Street) and Hall Street (from Brunswick Street to Bowen Terrace) were renamed into a single street called McLachlan Street in 1925 [source][source]. Both of these sources call it "Windmell" but the 1917 street directory uses the more conventional spelling of "Windmill". In the 1917 and 1919 street directories, Windmell / Windmill was not shown as a through street but rather as two segments (both called Windmell / Windmill), one longer section starting at Brunswick Street and stopping just short of Morgan Street and a shorter section starting at James Street and finishing at Connor Street. I am guessing the missing section may have been part of the forecourt of St Patrick's Catholic Church? Anyhow, it seems the shorter segment from James Street to Connor Street was known as Little / Lower Windmell / Windmill Street to distinguish it from the other segment.
Logan Road, Moorooka, Brisbane	Beaudesert Road	-27.5367, 153.0225	Comparison of this 1889 map of Moorooka Park estate and current maps
Long Street, Petrie Terrace, Brisbane	Judge Street		In 1925, Judge Street was renamed to Long Streeet at the request of the residents because of the "opprobrium" attached to the old name [source]. The nature of the opprobrium is not clear, but might be the association with the old Petrie Terrace Gaol [source]. However, at some time between 1948 and 1951, it appears to revert to Judge Street (which appears on current maps)
Long Pocket Road, Long Pocket / Indooroopilly, Brisbane	gone		Long Pocket Road commenced at the intersection of Harts Road and Meiers Road and ran roughly down the middle of the Long Pocket peninsula, terminating by the river, roughly where Meiers Road terminates today. It appears to have been fully absorbed into the Indooroopilly Golf Club.
Loraine Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	gone		Originally Hill Street but renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Although Hill Street in Moorooka is listed in the street index in the 1931 and 1938 street directories, that area is not covered by the maps. In the 1948 street directory, there are still no maps of the area but Hill Street no longer appears in the index but Loraine Street does (with the note that is "off Toohey Road"). A 1956 map shows Loraine Street as a street adjoining Toohey Road in what is now Toohey Forest Park.
Lower Clifton Terrace, Red Hill, Brisbane	Hampson Street		Lower Clifton Terrace was renamed Hampson Street around 1870, but the original name was restored in 1921. [source] A new Hampson Street was created in the Kelvin Grove area.
Lower Kate Street, Shorncliffe, Brisbane	Kate Street	-27.3259, 153.0792	Lower Kate Street (from Barton Street to Friday Street) appears on an 1919 street map but in a 1931 street directory it is simply known as Kate Street. Presumably the "lower" became redundant after the more upper part of Kate Street (from Friday Street to Sunday Street, now Park Parade) was renamed Pier Avenue in 1913. [source][source][source]
Lower Sherwood Road, Toowong, Brisbane	Woodstock Road		Renamed in 1904. [source]
Lower Windmell / Windmill Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	MacLachan Street (between James Street and Connor Street)	-27.4563, 153.0383	Windmell Street (from James Street to Brunswick Street) and Hall Street (from Brunswick Street to Bowen Terrace) were renamed into a single street called McLachlan Street in 1925 [source][source]. Both of these sources call it "Windmell" but the 1917 street directory uses the more conventional spelling of "Windmill". In the 1917 and 1919 street directories, Windmell / Windmill was not shown as a through street but rather as two segments (both called Windmell / Windmill), one longer section starting at Brunswick Street and stopping just short of Morgan Street and a shorter section starting at James Street and finishing at Connor Street. I am guessing the missing section may have been part of the forecourt of St Patrick's Catholic Church? Anyhow, it seems the shorter segment from James Street to Connor Street was known as Little / Lower Windmell / Windmill Street to distinguish it from the other segment.
Lutwyche Street, Wooloowin, Brisbane	Wooloowin Avenue	-27.4215, 153.0442	Appears as Lutwyche Street on this circa 1920 map but as Wooloowin Avenue on current maps. The Brisbane Heritage Register confirms the name change in the entry for "17 Wooloowin Avenue, Wooloowin"
M
Macfarlane Street, Ipswich	Milford Street	-27.6170, 152.7656	By comparison of 1885 Limestreet Railway Station Estate with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland)
Main Street, Bardon, Brisbane	Warburton Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source] and confiromed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that the north-south segment of the current Bundary Road (from MacGregor Terrace down past Government House towards Baroona Road) did not exist at that time. It was Kaye Street that connected MacGregor Terrace down to Main / Warburton Street.
Main Street, Belmont, Brisbane	Bundah Street, Camp Hill		Renamed prior to 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Main Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Bunowang Street, Balmoral		Renamed prior to 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Main Street, Bulimba Hill, Brisbane	Harrison Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with Main Avenue [source]
Main Street, Coopers Plains, Brisbane	Granard Road, Rocklea		Main Street was renamed Granard Street prior to 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that in 1948, Main / Granard Street only went from Beaudesert Road west to Beatty Street. Then it became Cameron Steet that went west from Beatty Road to Douglas Street; there was no further connection west of Douglas Street. However, in the 1956 street directory, we see Granard Road connecting Beaudesert Road all the way through to Ipswich Road (as appears on current maps).
Main Street, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Hay Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that through until at least 1956, the street directory shows Hay Street as a single straight street from Glen Retreat Road down to just beyond the junction with Fourth Avenue (now Willcocks Street) where it became a cul de sac. However, on current maps, Hay Street is in three segments. The original Main / Hay Street two segments disconnected near Hoben Street due to a creek and park and a new segment has appeared which connects the original Main / Hay Street cul-de-sac down to Meston Street (formerly Keillor Street) where there was no street connection in 1956.
Main Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	Gainsborough Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Main Street, Lota, Brisbane	Coolana Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Main Street, Saint Lucia, Brisbane	Walcott Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Main Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Barclay Street, Deagon Bridge Street, Sandgate		Both Barclay Street and Bridge Street were originally called Main Street at some time prior to 1939 [source]. A 1931 street directory shows Bridge Street just as it is today. However, Barclay Street acquired its new name between 1938 and 1948 (based on street directories). A 1917 street directory lists only Main Street (and not Bridge Street) in its index and its map shows Main Street as forking. The position of the railway line suggests to me that the original Main Street was a straight road that was "bent" to accommodate the railway line and that the segment of the old Main Street that was cut off by the railway line was probably renamed Bridge Street at some later time. The new "bent" Main Street was then renamed Barclay Street in 1938. Can anyone confirm this?
Main Street, Wooloowin, Brisbane	Adamson Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Main Towers Road, Aitkenvale, Townsville	Ross River Road		By comparison of an 1885 estate map of Aitkenvale North with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland)
Marcus Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	gone		Appears on a 1956 map but not on current maps. At that time Birubi Street (formerly Church Street) was a straight street, so it may have had the U-bend added to provide access to properties on the former Marcus Street.
Mareeba Road (part of), Ashgrove, Brisbane	Oleander Drive		Comparison of circa 1924 map and current map shows the western end of Mareeba Road has been amalgamated into Oleander Drive. [source]
Margaret Street, Banyo, Brisbane	Meredith Street		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Margaret Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Bilyana Street		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Margaret Street, Chermside, Brisbane	Kingsmill Street		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Margaret Street, Coopers Plains, Brisbane	Amherst Street, Acacia Ridge		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source]. Amherst Street appears in the 1948 street directory but unfortunately the 1938 street directory does not cover this area so I cannot confirm it was originally Margaret Street.
Margaret Street, Graceville, Brisbane	Tweedale Street		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Margaret Street, Manly, Brisbane	Berrimilla Street, Manly West	-27.4556, 153.1679	There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Margaret Street, Manly, Brisbane	Berringar Street, Wynnum		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Margaret Street, Milton, Brisbane	Nairn Street		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Margaret Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	Medina Street		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Margaret Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Beereegan Street (gone)		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source]. Beereegan Street appears in the 1948 street directory but unfortunately that area is not covered by the 1938 street directory so I cannot confirm it was originally Margaret Street. However Beereegan Street and other neighbouring streets have been redeveloped and Beereegan Street has now disappeared.
Margaret Street, Newmarket, Brisbane	Newbery Street		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Margaret Street, Oxley, Brisbane	Avalon Street		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed Waterford Street in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, current maps have the street called Avalon Street.
Margaret Street, Rosalie, Brisbane	Osman Street, Bardon		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Margaret Street, Yeerongpilly, Brisbane	Albermarle Street, Yeronga		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Marquis Street, Humpybong	Redcliffe in the vicinity of George Street	-27.2297, 153.0938	The Tunbridge Wells estate was sold in 1885. [source] Most of the street names on the estate map (apart from George Street) do not exist today. I can find no other references to Marquis Street in this area. Can you help?
Mary Street, Annerley, Brisbane	Dudley Street	-27.51035, 153.02965	Appears as Mary Street in a 1907 map and in the 1913 electoral roll, but as Dudley Street in a 1920 map and the 1922 electoral roll, so the change occurred between 1913 and 1920.
Mary Street, Bald Hills, Brisbane	Windeyer Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, Breakfast Creek, Brisbane	Beaumont Street, Albion		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Ferry Lane		Renamed in 1938. The [source] gives the new street name as Palall Street but not the suburb, but comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories confirm that Mary Street in Bulimba was renamed Palall Street. The 1956 street directory still shows Palall Street in Bulimba, but current maps show the street as Ferry Lane (although the southern part of the street has disappeared). This [source] says the name changed from Mary Street to Palace Street, but this appears to be a typo of Palall Street as there is no sign of a Palace Street.
Mary Street, Chermside, Brisbane	Latham Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Biran Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, Corinda, Brisbane	Merewether Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, Deagon, Brisbane	Playford Street, Bracken Ridge		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Although Playford Street appears in the 1948 street directory, this area is not covered by the 1938 street directory, so I am unable to confirm that it was originally called Mary Street.
Mary Street, Dunellan, Brisbane	Newdegate Street, Greenslopes		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, Geebung, Brisbane	Brierly Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 street directory and current maps (the 1948 street directory doesn't show that area clearly).
Mary Street, Kelvin Grove, Brisbane	Blythe Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, Kenmore, Brisbane	Bingham Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. The current Bingham Street appears in the 1948 street directory but not in my 1938 street directory, so I cannot confirm it was previously Mary Street.
Mary Street, Kuraby, Brisbane	Strathmore Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Strathmore Street appears in the 1948 street directory, but the area is not covered in the 1938 street directory so I cannot confirm it was originally Mary Street. Note that in 1948 Strathmore Street went from Logan Road across Alice Street (now Alpita Street) through to Winifred Street. Today, the section between Alpita Street and Winifred Street appears to be subsumed into Kuraby Special School.
Mary Street, Lota, Brisbane	Beltana Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that in both of these street directories as well as the 1956 street directory, the street crosses the creek and extends west to the railway line. However, current maps show Beltana Street as terminating at the creek.
Mary Street, Milton, Brisbane	Beard Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, Morningside, Brisbane	Burrai Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Battunga Street, Wishart (re-routed)		Mary Street was renamed Battunga Street in 1938 [source][source]. Battunga Street appears in the 1948 street directory but the area did not appear in the 1938 street directory, so the original name of Mary Street cannot be confirmed. The street layout in this area has undergone considerable change from what appears in the 1948 street directory. Battunga Street still exists but is very small compared with its 1948 version.
Mary Street, Park Avenue, Brisbane	Hogan Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with the Mary Street on the south side of Rockhampton [source]
Mary Street, Rosalie, Brisbane	Beck Street, Paddington		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Chubb Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. This is confirmed by finding it as Mary Street in a 1917 street directory but as Chubb Street in 1948.
Mary Street, Sherwood, Brisbane	Chancellor Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, South Brisbane area	Neylan Street		Supposedly renamed in 1909 [source] but neither name appears on current maps.
Mary Street, West End, Brisbane	Daventry Street (southern part)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. The 1938 street directory shows Mary Street running from the river north to Bell Street (now Barnsley Street) with Green Street running from Bell Street to Dornoch Terrace, but the 1948 street directory shows both Mary Street and Green Street being named Daventry Street.
Mary Street, Wynnum, Brisbane	Berrima Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Mary Street, (somewhere in) Brisbane	Barwell Street		Supposed renamed in 1938, but the [source] gives the old and new street name but not the suburb and I cannot find Barwell Street in old street directories or in current maps. However, there is a 1938 reference to renaming Barwell Street in Coorparoo [source] but I cannot find that in any old street directories or electoral rolls either. Perhaps the original plan had been to rename Mary Street in Coorparoo to be Barwell Street, but the objection in the newspaper article resulted in it being renamed Biran Street (see above).
Mathilda Street, Tarragindi, Brisbane	Errington Street		This source claims this name change occurred before 1939. However, Mathilda Street appears to be unchanged on historic and current maps suggesting no name change has occcured and this source suggest that Errington Street is a new street "off Mathilda Street" and not a renaming of Mathilda Street.
Maud / Maude Street			There appears to be considerable confusion regarding the correct spelling of the various "Maud" and "Maude" streets discussed below, most of them appear under different variants in different places. For this reason I list them all as Maud/e Street.
Maud/e Street, Auchenflower, Brisbane	Dowling Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Maud/e Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Brinawa Street, Camp Hill		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Maud/e Street, Hamilton, Brisbane	Castleton Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Maud/e Street, Highgate Hill, Brisbane	Audenshaw Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Maud/e Street, Indooroopilly, Brisbane	Twigg Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Maud/e Street, Lota, Brisbane	Booran Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Maud/e Street, Morningside, Brisbane	Bundara Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Maud/e Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Beatham Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Maud/e Street, Tarragindi, Brisbane	Tiverton Street, Annerley		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Maud/e Street, Toombul, Brisbane	Dalziel Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Maud/e Street, Windsor, Brisbane	Cartwright Street		Renamed prior to 1939 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that the end of Maud / Cartwright Street may be a bit different today due to changes in the alignment of the creek and railway lines.
May Street, Belmont, Brisbane	Epala Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. However, both the 1938 and 1948 street directories show it as May Street, but in the 1956 street directory it appears as Epala Street. However, the 1941 electoral roll shows a resident living in Epala Street, suggesting the name change had indeed occurred in 1938.
May Street, Belmont, Brisbane	Lunga Street, Carina		According to this [source] May Street was renamed Gosford Street in 1938 but comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories show Mary Street was renamed Lunga Street (which appears in the following entry in the source, suggesting a printer's error).
May Street, Indooroopilly, Brisbane	Rutledge Street		Renamed in 1938 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
May Street, Milton, Brisbane	Dorsey Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
May Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Gosford Street		According to this [source] May Street was renamed Galloway Street in 1938 but comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories show May Street was renamed Gosford Street (which appears in the following entry in the source, suggesting a printer's error). Note that in 1938 and 1948, May / Gosford Street was a short street only accessible from Gowrie Street. It was extended to connect to Tenby Street in the 1956 street directory and today, in a most unusual Y-formation, it also connects to Shire Road.
May Street, Red Hill, Brisbane	Winship Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
May Street, Sherwood, Brisbane	Galloway Street		According to this [source] May Street was renamed Marlborough Street in 1938 but comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories show Mary Street was renamed Galloway Street (which appears in the following entry in the source, suggesting a printer's error). Note there is a Marlborough Street in Sherwood, but comparison of the 1938 street directory and the 1948 street directories show it was formerly Station Street.
May Street, West End, Brisbane	Ashington Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
May Street, Wilston, Brisbane	Scriven Street, Newmarket		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
May Street, Wilston, Brisbane	Sellheim Street, Grange Myrtle Street, Grange (perhaps)		May Street was renamed Sellheim Street in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, in 1938 and 1948, May / Sellheim Street ran from Grange Road through to Jean Street. But in the 1956 street directory, the section from Grange Road to Lanham Avenue had been renamed Myrtle Street. However, there are numerous newspaper references and electoral entries for Myrtle Street in the Grange back into the 1930s and 1940s , suggesting that perhaps Myrtle Street was always there and the street directories are wrong.
May Street, Wynnum, Brisbane	Manin Street		Based on comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
McGuire Street, Brisbane			Created in 1925 at the rear of the new (current) City Hall between Adelaide and Ann Streets. [source] However it does not appear on current maps.
Medway Street, Rocklea, Brisbane	Sherwood Road (maybe)		In 1938 Queen Street was renamed Medway Street [source][source]. Queen Street appears in the 1931 and 1938 street directories as the street north and parallel to Sherwood Road. However, in the 1948 street directory, the former Queen Street has been renamed Sherwood Road (to the north) and the former Sherwood Road is called Queen Street (to the south), as they appear on current maps. It is not clear if the names were really swapped, or whether the street directories in 1931 and 1938 were wrong.
Mercer Avenue, Kedron, Brisbane	partly gone		Mercer Avenue appears a much longer street in the 1956 street directory. It extended further northwards through what is now Mercer Park, intersecting with Eighth Avenue (which came a bit further east than it now does) and then into a large triangular intersection with Nabiac Street and Cheshire Road (also completely subsumed).
Merton Road, South Brisbane area	Gillespie Street		Supposedly Merton Road was renamed Gillespie Street in 1909 [source], but it is Merton Road not Gillespie Street that appears on historic and current maps. So this renaming does not appear to have been implemented.
Merton Street (east to west), Woolloongabba	Ross Street	-27.49016, 153.02815	This 1933 map shows Merton Street going from east to west and intersecting with Merton Road which goes from north to south. Having two streets with such similar names so close presumably caused confusion (which may explain the entry above about supposedly renaming Merton Road in 1909 which appears not to have occurred). However, in this 1943 map, Merton Street has been renamed Ross Street.
Michel Road (aka Michel's Road, Michael Road), Geebung, Brisbane	Ellison Road	-27.3757, 153.0451	Based on the entries in the electoral roll for the Herrmann, James and Gurowski families, it appears that Michel Road is renamed Ellison Road at some time. The earliest street directory I can find the road appearing in is in 1938 and it is called Ellison Road at that time. The earliest electoral roll entry I have found for Ellison Road, Geebung is in 1934, but there are mentions of Ellison Road in Zillmere in 1922. If there is anyone who can confirm this name change, please contact me!
Middle Street, Indooroopilly, Brisbane	Allwood Street (west of railway line)	-27.3757, 153.0451	Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. The 1938 street directory shows Middle Street as a very short street from Coonan Street to the railway line, while on the eastern side of the railway line there is a short street called Short Street which connects Railway Avenue to Clarence Road (it is not clear if the railway underpass existed at that time). However, in the 1948 street directory, both Middle Street and Short Street have been renamed Allwood Street.
Miles Retreat Road, Myall Park, north of Miles	Myall Park Road	-26.58067,150.18059	Renamed in 1939.[source]
Milton Road, Banyo	Radley Street, Virginia	-27.3665, 153.0634	Appears as Milton Road in an 1948 street directory but Radley Street on current maps. It is one of several streets renamed in this area, possibly when the industrial estate was built?
Moggill Road, Milton / Auchenflower / Toowong	River Road, then Coronation Drive High Street		Moggill Road originally started in the centre of Brisbane and ran out to Moggill. Later the section along the river became known as River Road (see below), later Coronation Drive. The section through the village of Toowong became High Street, Toowong. [source]
Moggill Road, Kenmore	Cedarleigh Road	-27.5081, 152.9435	When Moggill Road was rebuilt onto a less hilly route through Kenmore, the old bypassed section became Cedarleigh Road.
Montague Road, South Brisbane area	Davies Road		Supposedly renamed in 1909 [source] but it is Montague Road not Davies Road that appears on current maps.There is a Davies Park adjacent to Montague Road.
Moore Road, Banyo	Telford Street, Virginia	-27.3685, 153.0638	Appears as Moore Road in an 1948 street directory but as Telford Street on current maps. It is one of several streets renamed in this area, possibly when the industrial estate was built?
Morphett Street, Virginia, Brisbane	gone		Some time after 1956 it was subsumed into an industrial estate. Known as King Street until 1938. [source][source]
Moreton Street, Humpybong	Redcliffe in the vicinity of George Street	-27.2297, 153.0938	The Tunbridge Wells estate was sold in 1885. [source] Most of the street names on the estate map (apart from George Street) do not exist today. Can you help?
Morton Street, Cribb Island, Brisbane	gone		Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
Mossgrove Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Dudley Street		Supposedly Mossgrove Street was absorbed into Dudley Street in 1909 [source] but it must not have occcurred as there were still complaints about having two names for the same street in 1938 [source]. However, current maps still show Mossgrove Street and Dudley Street as different names for the same street.
Mossman Street, Toowong	Dampier Street	-27.48829, 152.9797	On an 1895 map, Mossman Street runs north from Stanley Terrace (this section is still called Mossman Street, then west (this section is now Dampier Street), and then south (this section is now called Howitt Street)
Mossman Street, Toowong	Howitt Street	-27.48867, 152.97922	On an 1895 map, Mossman Street runs north from Stanley Terrace (this section is still called Mossman Street, then west (this section is now Dampier Street), and then south (this section is now called Howitt Street)
Mount Coot-tha Road, Taringa, Brisbane	Moorak Street	-27.4913, 152.9791	A 1948 street directory shows Mount Coot-tha Road running north-south from Stanley Terrace to Moggill Road. It appears as Moorak Street on current maps.
Musgrave Street, Banyo, Brisbane	Musgrave Road		Not clear if this is an official name change.
Musgrave Road, Indooroopilly, Brisbane (south of Moggill Road)	gone		A 1956 street directory shows Musgrave Street extending south to the river. However, on current maps it terminates at the junction with Rankin Street (formerly Francis Street), although there appears to be a pathway extending through to Goldieslie Road.
Musgrave Parade, Ashgrove, Brisbane	McLean Parade		A 1917 street directory shows it as Musgrave Parade. In the 1931 street directories and subsequently, it appears as McLean Parade.
Musgrave Parade, Taringa / Indooroopilly (north of Moggill Road)	Nelson Parade	-27.4952, 152.9724	By comparison of an 1887 Nelson estate map with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). It appears as Nelson Parade on a 1895 map.
Musgrave Street, Rockhampton	MacGregor Street	-23.4049, 150.4968	Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with the more major Musgrave Street on the north side of the city [source]

N
Nellie Street, Stratford, Cairns Region	Dalziel Street	-16.87760, 145.72954	Renamed to honour the Dalziel family. Private George Dalziel died in action in World War 1 at the Western Front, and his cousin Sargent Henry (Harry) Dalziel was awarded the Victorian Cross. [source] The first mention I can find of Dalziel Street in Stratford is in October 1937 [source] and people are living there in the 1941 electoral roll. However, I cannot find any earlier mentions of a Nellie Street in Stratford prior to this (including the electoral roll) which suggests that this was a not residential area. I do not know why the name was changed, but there was a Nellie Street in Parramatta Park (and the electoral rolls show people living there before 1937), so the name change may have been to avoid confusion when the street in Stratford began to be developed for housing.
Nelson Street, Babinda	Kingston Street	-17.33651, 145.92551	[source] Nelson Street appears in the 1969 electoral roll but Kingstone Street does not, so the name change is likely to have occurred after 1969.
Nelson Street, Humpybong	Redcliffe in the vicinity of George Street	-27.2297, 153.0938	The Tunbridge Wells estate was sold in 1885. [source] Most of the street names on the estate map (apart from George Street) do not exist today. Can you help?
Nesbitt Street, Banyo, Brisbane	gone	-27.3801, 153.0748	Originally called Church Street, but there were too many Church Streets so it was renamed Nesbitt Street in 1938. [source] Unfortunately there is no Nesbitt Street on a contemporary map as the Golden Circle Cannery was built over it. See this 1884 [map] (note, North is downwards).
Nestor Street, Rosalie	gone	-27.46750, 152.98766	The very short Nestor Street can be see on this 1925 Rainworth Estate map. It can still be seen on a 1956 street directory, but today it has been absorbed into a roundabout. Not to be confused with Nestor Avenue in Bardon.
New Cleveland Road, East Brisbane to Tingalpa	Wynnum Road	-27.47620, 153.05062	New Cleveland Road commenced at Canning Bridge over Norman Creek in East Brisbane, and extended east through many suburbs to Tingalpa (intersection with Belmont Road, -27.47456, 153.12904). At the intersection at Tingalpa, Wynnum Road (which was already in existence before 1926) headed north-east towards Wynnum. Renamed in September 1926 [news article] and confirmed by a comparison of a 1926 Refidex street directory (maps 26, 27, 22, and 64) with a 1931 street directory. However, the use of the name New Cleveland Road in suburbs like East Brisbane, Norman Park, and Morningside (the ones I checked) persists in the electoral rolls and real estate advertisements into the 1950s; perhaps the name change was not popular?
New Cleveland Road, Tingalpa	Manly Road	-27.47666, 153.13625	The section of New Cleveland Road after the intersection with Belmont Road through to the intersection where New Cleveland Road turned south (the commencement of the present-day New Cleveland Road, -27.47588, 153.14061) can be seen in a 1926 Refidex street directory (maps 64 and 65) . It appears as New Cleveland Road in a 1955 street directory but as Manly Road in a 1960-61 street directory, so the change presumably occurred between those years. I note there was an existing Manly Road that commenced where New Cleveland Road turned south, so the renaming under discussion here is just the segment between the intersection with Belmont Road and New Cleveland Road turning south.
New Farm Road, Fortitude Valley & New Farm	Brunswick Street		Renamed prior to 1914 [source]
New Sandgate Road, Brisbane	Sandgate Road		In 1938, Old Sandgate Road was renamed Bage Street, allowing New Sandgate Road to called simply Sandgate Road [source]
Neylan Street, South Brisbane area	Mary Street?		Mary Street was supposedly renamed to Neylan Street in 1909 [source] but neither name appears on current maps.
Nicholson Street, North Rockhampton	Lucas Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with a Nicholson Street on the south side of the city [source]
Nikenham Bingham Road, south of Hervey Bay	Booral Road	-25.34382, 152.83322	This long road has had many names. It also passes through many suburbs. It was known as Urangan Road from at least 1869 [source] and was the location of the Urangan Road State School, then variously as Urangan-Bingham Road [source] or just Bingham Road, then by 1941 it was Nikenbah Bingham Road (1941 map) and now Booral Road.
Norman Street, Rockhampton	Nathan Street		Renamed in 1927 [source]
Norman Road, Frenchville, Rockhampton	Dean Street		Renamed about 1930 [source]
North Dulacca School Road, Darling Downs	Dulacca North Road	-26.46629, 149.79812	In 1953, Dulacca North State School was on the south-west corner of North Dulacca School Road and Frizzells Road. [1953 map] The school closed in 1956 so presumably the road name was subsequently changed to reflect that closure (although this is not usual practice as there are many School Roads in Queensland that no longer have a school on them).
Northgate Road (part of), Northgate, Brisbane	Earnshaw Road	-27.3819, 153.0780	On a 1956 map, Northgate Road runs from Sandgate Road to Queens Road. However, on current maps, the section from the railway line to Childs Road is called Earnshaw Road.
Northgate Road (part of), Northgate, Brisbane	gone	-27.3705, 153.0952	On a 1956 map, Northgate Road runs from Sandgate Road to Queens Road. However, on current maps, the section from Childs Road to Queens Road has disappeared and appears to be bushland (possibly a consequence of the construction of the Gateway Motorway?).
O
O'Mara Street, Lutwyche, Brisbane	Swinburne Street		Renamed in 1938. [source]
Oak Street, Tingalpa, Brisbane	Caladium Street & Basella Street & Dianthus Street, Wakerley		A 1956 map shows Oak Street as a "U"-shaped street to the north of New Cleveland Road, Tingalpa in an undeveloped area. Current maps show this is now developed as the suburb Wakerley.
Oateson Road, Darra, Brisbane	Arcardia Crescent
Old Burleigh Road, Southport	Surfers Paradise Boulevard, Gold Coast		Comparison of 1915 estate map with current maps [source]
Old Glenmore Road, Rockhampton	Cowap Street		Renamed in 1927 [source]. Note there is also a Glenmore Road.
Old Sandgate Road, Albion / Clayfield, Brisbane	Bonney Avenue		Renamed in 1938 after Maude Bonney the aviatrix. [source][source]
Old Sandgate Road, Nundah, Brisbane	Bage Street		Renamed in 1938 after Freda Bage, founding principal of Women's College at the University of Queensland [source][source]
O'Mara Street, Lutwyche, Brisbane	Swinburne Street (western end)		Renamed in 1938 [source]. The 1938 street directory shows O'Mara Street as a short street running east from Brook Street for about 200 metres, meanwhile Bruce Street ran from Lutwyche Road west for about 150 metres. The 1948 street directory shows that O'Mara Street and Bruce Street have now been connected into a single street called Swinburne Street.
O'Reilly Street, South Brisbane area	Gray Street? or Gray Road?		Supposedly Gray Street was renamed O'Reilly Street in 1909 [source] but it is Gray Road not O'Reilly Street that appears on current maps.
Oriel Road, Darra, Brisbane	Strathavon Street		Comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps
Orient Road, Darra, Brisbane	Strathaird Street		Comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps
Orlando Street, Darra, Brisbane	Himalaya Street		Comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps
Ormonde Road, Darra, Brisbane	Stratheden Street		Comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps
Ormuz Street, Darra, Brisbane	Strathnaver Street		Comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps. Note in 1945 Ormuz Street ran from Orient Road / Strathaird Street through to Osterley / Iberia Crescent; presumably the playing fields were not there in 1956.
Orphanage Road, Nudgee	Queens Road	-27.3639, 153.0925	In a 1948 street directory, Orphanage Road runs from the Nundah Creek down to the junction with Weyers Road and then along the present Queens Road and then beyond to Nudgee Road. Presumably the connection to Nudgee Road disappeared with the construction of the Gateway Motorway, which impacted on the route of Nudgee Road. In 1948, the St Vincents Orphanage is on Orphanage Road at the junction of St Vincents Road; this is presumably the origin of the old street name. The orphanage no longer exists but the Sisters of Mercy operate a range of community care services from that site.
Orsova Road, Darra, Brisbane	Jervis Street		Comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps
Osterley Crescent, Darra, Brisbane	Iberia Crescent		Comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps
Orvetio Street, Darra, Brisbane	Largs Street		Comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps
Oxford Street, Virginia, Brisbane	gone		Road layout has changed. Based on comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps.
Oxley Street, Chermside	Pilba Street	-27.39274, 153.03230	In this 1937 map, Oxley Street is a short street between Gympie Road and Century Street (now Buruda Street). In this 1955 map, Oxley Street has been replaced by the longer Pilba Street which goes from Gympie Road to Barker Street.
Oxley Street, New Farm, Brisbane	Amity Street		Renamed in 1936 as there were many Oxley streets [source]. Note there is still an Oxley Lane in New Farm.
P
Palall Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Ferry Lane	-27.4512, 153.0544	Renamed in 1938. The [source] gives the new street name as Palall Street but not the suburb, but comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories confirm that Mary Street in Bulimba was renamed Palall Street. The 1956 street directory still shows Palall Street in Bulimba, but current maps show the street as Ferry Lane (although the southern part of the street has disappeared). This [source] says the name changed from Mary Street to Palace Street, but this appears to be a typo of Palall Street as there is no sign of a Palace Street.
Paradise Avenue, Toowong, Brisbane	Landsborough Terrace (part of)	-27.4829, 152.9958	Paradise Avenue appears in a 1917 map as a short east-west street off River Road (now Coronation Drive) terminating at a small creek (which we cannot see on modern maps, but is about half way between Coronation Drive and the railway line). Today Paradise Avenue is the section of Landsborough Terrace beside the Regatta Hotel. No other parts of the present day Landborough Terrace are visible in the 1917 map. However, on a 1931 map, we see all of the present Landsborough Terrace but shown as three separately named segments. Theresa Street is the north-south section of Landsborough Terrace off Sylvan Road, which gives access to the east-west Landsborough Street which runs between the railway line and the creek, and then Paradise Avenue from the creek to River Road (Coronation Drive) unchanged from the 1917 map. The 1931 map does not show if there is a bridge/connection across the creek, but a 1938 map seems to suggest that the creek is still separating Landsborough Street and Paradise Avenue. The three separately named streets are still visible in a 1975 street directory, but appear as the single Landsborough Terrace in a 1990 street directory. [source]
Park Avenue, Banyo, Brisbane	gone	-27.3814, 153.0748	The streets in this area have been replaced by the Golden Circle Cannery. Park Avenue went from Royal Parade to Earnshaw Rd (as if it was an extension of the still existing Park Street). See this 1884 [map] (note, North is downwards).
Park Road, Annerley	Ealing Street	-27.50706, 153.03529	The street is Park Road on this 1895 map and this 1907 map, but Ealing Street on this 1920 map. The earliest electoral roll entry for Ealing Street is in 1922 and the earliest newspaper mention of Ealing Street is in 1930 [source].The origin of name is probably the Ealing Park Estate which was a 1894 real estate subdivision covering this area [source]. NB This is NOT the Park Road in Woolloongabba (which still exists).
Park Road West, South Brisbane area	Park Road? or Park Road West?		Supposedly Park Road West was absorbed into Park Road in 1909 [source] but both Park Road and Park Road West appear on current maps.
Park Street, Nundah, Brisbane	Wood Street	-27.4007, 153.0603	By comparison with 1882 Nundah Railway Station estate map with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). The earliest mention I can find for Wood Street is 1924.
Perry Street, Bowen Hills, Brisbane	Folkestone Street	-27.4444, 153.0404	Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
Pine Ridge Road, Southport / Labrador, Gold Coast (northern section)	Oxley Drive, Hollywell Paradise Road, Paradise Point	-27.886459, 153.391647	The current Pine Ridge Road terminates Runaway Bay at the junction with Oxley Drive (a more modern road). However, it is shown in a 1978 map as extending along the current Oxley Drive in Hollywell and through to the current Paradise Road in Paradise Point (the coordinates shown indicate its northernmost extent in Paradise Point in 1978).
Petty Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	First Avenue	-27.3194, 153.0728	In 1913, the council decided to rename Petty, Wilson, Cooksley, Henry, and Tully streets to be First, Second, Third, Fifth and Sixth Avenues respectively. [source] But it leaves us wondering about the origins of Fourth Avenue.
Pine Street (part of), Wynnum, Brisbane	Barnham Street		Pine Street (from Thomas Street to Wynnum Road) renamed Barnham Street in 1928 [source][source]. The north-east part is still Pine Street.
Pitt Street, Virginia, Brisbane	gone		Subsumed into an industrial estate. Based on comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps.
Poison Creek Road Deviation, near Mount Morgan	Stopford Way		Renamed in 1937 [source]. Stopford Way does not appear on current maps, perhaps it is now the Burnett Highway?
Poomong Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Wright Street		Originally First Avenue, it was renamed to Poomong Street in 1938 [source][source]. It appears as Poomong in a 1948 street directory but in a 1956 street directory it has been renamed Wright Street, the name which appears on current maps.
Princess Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Collings Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with the other Princess Street [source]
Princess Street, Bowen Hills, Brisbane	Cowlishaw Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
Proclamation Row, Jubilee Estate, Brisbane	Jubilee Terrace & Coopers Camp Road	-27.4564, 152.9855	Proclamation Row is shown as the boundary of the Jubilee Estate in the estate map of 1897 [source]. The extent of Proclamation Road is not entirely clear from the map, but it would appear to commence at the (now) intersection of Jubilee Terrace with Coronation Street through to the intersection of Cooper's Camp Road with Fletcher Parade (then known as Ithaca Parade). Proclamation Row is mentioned as a street address in the newspaper between 1891 [source] and 1902 [source] and appears in the 1903 electoral roll. It does not appear in the 1913 electoral roll and a 1917 map shows the street names Jubilee Street and Coopers Camp Road as they appear on the map today. However, Jubilee Terrace is mentioned as early as 1892 in the newspapers [source] and appears in the 1903 electoral roll. Similarly there are many references to Cooper's Camp Road too throughout the same period. This seems to suggest that the developers of the Jubilee Estate may have attempted to rename the already existing Jubilee Terrace and Coopers Camp Road to be Proclamation Row (all the Jubilee Estate street names in 1897 have a "regal" theme) but that the name Proclamation Row never completely caught on and eventually the earlier names were restored.
Progress Street, Tingalpa, Brisbane	Arenga Street, Wakerley		A 1956 maps shows it as Progress Street in an undeveloped area. Current maps show the suburb of Wakerley.
Prospect Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Prospect Street (what remains)		Although Prospect Street still exists, it is much shorter than it was. On this 1887 map, it extended east from Main Street towards the river (but not quite reaching it, terminating at the now disappeared Carter Street that ran north-south between Ferry Street and Cairns Street); it appears this way until at least 1956, but now it has been shortened at both ends. On the 1887 map, Prospect Street also extended west of Main Street down to the river; this segment has disappeared by 1917. However, the 1956 street directory shows Holingside Street as a very short street (about 50 metres) running west from Main Street but not through to the river, roughly aligned with Prospect Street but a little further south, more or less where the western segment of Prospect Street used to be. Whether Holingside Street is a renaming of Prospect Street (west) or the creation of a new street, I cannot say, but this street was absorbed at some stage after 1956 into the northern end of Mt Olivet Hospital (Hospice) which became St Vincents Hospital in 2010.
Pye Street, Taringa/Indooroopilly	Ward Street (extension), Indooroopilly	-27.50036 152.98237	Ward Street originally extended from Clarence Road to Fairley Street and, after a small kink in the road, a second street extended from present-day Fairley Street (then Church Street) to Turner Street. In the 1880s and 1890s, this second street was called Belgrave Street/Road [1880 map][1892 map], but, by 1895, it was called Pye Street [1895 map][1921 map]. On 24 May 1937, it was renamed Ward Street as an extension of the original Ward Street [source (download)]. Historically, the area has been described as being in Taringa or Indooroopilly but it is within Indooroopilly today. The name Pye may refer to John Thomas Pye, the railway contractor who built Pye's Cutting in Taringa (see separate entry) and who lived in the Taringa area.

Queen Street, Aitkenvale, Townsville	Nathan Street (Bruce Highway)		By comparison of an 1885 estate map of Aitkenvale North with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland)
Queen Street, Banyo, Brisbane	Rignold Street (gone)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Some time after 1956 the streets in this area have been replaced by large industrial estates.
Queen Street, Bardon, Brisbane	Lewin Street	-27.4529, 152.9838	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directory.

Queen Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Tarana Street, Camp Hill		One of the two Queen Streets in Coorparoo renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directory.
Queen Street, Jubilee, Brisbane	Lewin Street, Bardon	-27.4529, 152.9838	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directory.
Queen Street, Koongal, Rockhampton	Norris Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with another Queen Street on the southern side of the city. [source]
Queen Street, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Cranbrook Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directory.
Queen Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Brodie Street, Holland Park West		Appears as Queen Street in 1884 map and as Brodie Street in 1938 street directory. [source] There is a possible reference to Brodie Street in 1917 [source]
Queen Street, Murarrie, Brisbane	Woodanga Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directory.
Queen Street, North Rockhampton	Charles Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with another Queen Street on the southern side of the city. [source]
Queen Street, Rocklea, Brisbane	Medway Street or Sherwood Road		In 1938 Queen Street was renamed Medway Street [source][source]. Queen Street appears in the 1931 and 1938 street directories as the street north and parallel to Sherwood Road. However, in the 1948 street directory, the former Queen Street has been renamed Sherwood Road (to the north) and the former Sherwood Road is called Queen Street (to the south), as they appear on current maps. It is not clear if the names were really swapped, or whether the street directories in 1931 and 1938 were wrong.
Queen Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Longstaff Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directory.
Queen Street, Tarragindi, Brisbane	Cavan Street, Annerley	-27.52134, 153.03329	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directory. Cavan Street is now within Annerley.

Queen Street, West Rockhampton	Melbourne Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with another Queen Street on the southern side of the city. [source]
Queen Street, Wynnum North, Brisbane	Warra Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directory.
Queens Road, Banyo, Brisbane	gone	-27.3787, 153.0749	This area is now an industrial estate. See this 1884 [map] (note, North is downwards).
Queer Street, Paddington, Brisbane	Brigalow Street	-27.4605, 152.9895	A 1920 map of Brisbane shows Queer Street and it is still listed by that name in a 1948 map, but it is Brigalow Street in a 1956 street directory. In 1920 Queer Street only went east as far as Bell Street (now Reading Street); it did not go through to Wilden Street as Brigalow Street does today.
R
Raby Street, Humpybong	Redcliffe in the vicinity of George Street	-27.2297, 153.0938	The Tunbridge Wells estate was sold in 1885. [source] Most of the street names on the estate map (apart from George Street) do not exist today. Can you help?
Racecourse Road, New Farm	Merthyr Road		There was a racecourse in New Farm that operated from 1846 to ?? which gave the street its name. Later (when??) it was named after the Welsh town of Merthyr, the birthplace of Sir Samuel Griffith. [source][source]
Railway Avenue, Yeronga, Brisbane	Kadumba Street		In 1938, the road running from Fairfield Avenue to Rhyndarra Street had four separate names: Railway Avenue, Dunn Street, Rome Street and Kadumba Street. The entire road was renamed Kadumba Street. [source]
Railway Parade, Herston, Brisbane	Alexandra Road		Comparison of 1956 street maps with current maps shows that the segment of Railway Parade that ran east from Sandgate Road along the southern side of the railway line was incorporated into Alexandra Road (which was then a north-south road that terminated at the railway line). Note that the section of Railway Parade west of Sandgate Road still exists by that name.
Railway Parade, Wooloowin, Brisbane	Hudson Road		Suggested that Hudson Road may be the new name of the now non-existent Railway Parade due to its location.
Railway Terrace, Chelmer, Brisbane	Honour Avenue		Comparison of an 1884 map and a current map. [source] However, in 1917, it was Albert Terrace (and not Railway Terrace) that was renamed Honour Avenue [source] so perhaps Railway Terrace had been previously renamed Albert Terrace?
Rankin Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Captain Burke Park (gone)		Rankin Street ran from Main Street east to the river at the northern tip of Kangaroo Point (north of Holman Street). It appears in the 1938 street directory but has disappeared from the 1948 street directory. It may have been closed as part of the construction of the Story Bridge (then known as the Jubilee Bridge) [source].
Raven Street, South Brisbane area	Dixon Street		Supposedly Raven Street was renamed Dixon Street in 1909 [source] but it is Raven Street not Dixon Street that appears on current maps.
Red Hill Road, Red Hill, Brisbane	Musgrave Road		Renamed in 1889. [source]
Redcliffe Road, Redcliffe, Brisbane	Anzac Avenue	-27.2295, 153.1049	In 1922 the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland (RACQ) proposed that a road route from Kedron Brook in Brisbane to Redcliffe should be created and named Anzac Memorial Avenue. At that time most people travelled by steamer to Redcliffe due to lack of good road connections (there was no bridge to Sandgate at that time). The route that was eventually built went from Petrie to Redcliffe. [source] Redcliffe Road was one of the names of the roads that was absorbed into the route, but I do not know which section of the route so the map reference is just a guess. Can anyone help? At some point the "Memorial" part of the name was dropped as it is simply known as Anzac Avenue today.
Redfern Street, South Brisbane area			Supposedly Redfern Street was absorbed into Lewis Street in 1909 [source] but clearly it did not occur as there were still complaints about having two names for the street in 1938 [source]. Current maps still show Redfern Street and Lewis Street as different ends of the same street.
Reid Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	gone		Reid Street was a very short street that ran west from Main Street toward (but not reaching) MacDonald Street; it was a little bit south relative to Wharf Street but north of Baildon Street (was Wilson Street). Reid Street appears in street directories until at least 1956.
Reneham Street, Cribb Island, Brisbane	gone		Appears on 1956 map but not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
Rice Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	Ipswich Road		The 1931 street directory shows that Ipswich Road was disconnected between Keats Street, Moorooka, and Station Street, Rocklea; I suspect this disconnection probably occurred as a result of building the train line through this area. The two segments of Ipswich were then connected via Station Street, Moorooka (between Keats Street and Hamilton Road, Moorooka) and then by Rice Street (from Hamilton Road to Station Street, Rocklea). It appears that in 1938 Station Street, Morooka, and Rice Street were both renamed to create one continuous Ipswich Road [source] which is confirmed by the 1948 street directory.
Richardson Street, New Farm, Brisbane	NW part of Hopetoun Way & Hollins Crescent		By comparison of 1887 map with current map. [source] However, so much redevelopment has occurred in this area that it is difficult to say if Hopetoun Way & Hollins Crescent are renaming Richardson Street & Cowley Street or whether they are completely new streets approximately where the old streets used to be.
Richmond Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Strathmore Street		By comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps.
Richter Street, Annerley, Brisbane	Devon Street	-27.51811, 153.03125	This name change appears to have occurred about 1918 as Richter Street is listed in Wise's 1918 street directory index as "see Devon Street". Given that Richter is a German name and that many German place names in Queensland were changed during World War 1 into more patriotic British names (and Devon is a place in Britain), this may be the reason for the change.
Rignold Street, Banyo, Brisbane	gone		Formerly Queen Street but renamed in 1938. Subsequently the streets in this area have been replaced by large industrial estates.
River Drive, Fairfield, Brisbane	Brisbane Corso		The name changed some time between 1949 and 1956 based on comparisons between the 1949 electoral roll and a 1956 street directory. A 1950 newspaper advertisement lists both street names in an address [source], suggesting the change occurred around 1949-1950. There had been a Brisbane Corso at Yeronga for many years prior to this but the roads were not connected; Brisbane Corso ended at the intersection with Ormonde Street and River Drive ended at the intersection of Williams Parade. Most likely the connecting of these two roads lead to a decision to have a single name for the entire route.
River Road, Milton / Auchenflower / Toowong, Brisbane	Coronation Drive		Previously called Moggill Road. [source] Then River Road, Then renamed to Coronation Drive in 1937 in honour of the coronation of King George VI [source] See its Wikipedia Page

River Road, Indooroopilly, Brisbane	Jesmond Road		Called River Road on a 1948 map, now called Jesmond Road.
River Road, Merthyr / New Farm	Oxlade Drive	-27.47379, 153.047861	According to a 1926 street directory, River Road went from Sydney Street to Turner Avenue, after which it was called Geoffrey Street from Turner Avenue to Brunswick Street. On 5 September 1927, River Road and Geoffrey Street were both renamed as Oxlade Drive.
River Street, Newstead, Brisbane	Dath Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
River Street, North Rockhampton	Hopkins Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with the River Street on the south side of the city [source]
River Glen Crescent, Fairfield, Brisbane	Turley Street & Sharp Street	-27.50535, 153.02285	River Glen Crescent looks like two separate streets on this 1945 map and may explained why the northern curved part was renamed Turley Street and the straight southern section was renamed Sharp Street. The earliest mention of Turley Street I can find is the 1949 electoral roll and the earliest mention of Sharp Street in a 1952 newspaper article about a crocodile sighting in the Brisbane River (although written as Sharpe Street). So the renaming would appear to have occurred in the late 1940s.
River Park (Street?), Fairfield, Brisbane	Hefferan Street	-27.50128, 153.02471	River Park appears on this 1945 map. The earliest mention of Hefferan Street I could find was this 1952 advertisement. There was no mention of Hefferan Street in the 1949 electoral rolls, so the renaming probably occurred between 1949 and 1952. It was probably named after William Vincent Hefferan, who was a long-serving member of the Brisbane City Council representing the Annerley /Fairfield area until his sudden death in 1937 .Hefferan Park on the corner of Annerley Road and Cornwall Street nearby is named after him. [source]
River Vale (Street?), Fairfield, Brisbane	Stimpson Street	-27.50285, 153.02418	River Vale appears on this 1945 map. The earliest mention of Stimpson Street I could find was this 1950 advertisement, so the renaming probably occurred in the late 1940s. The new name probably refers to prominent local citizen, Frederick Arthur Stimpson, who lived in nearby 39 Fairfield Road, see his 1947 obituary.
River View Road, Milton, Brisbane	Coronation Drive		Coronation Drive is named River View Road on a 1865 Brisbane map. [source]
River Ville (Street?), Fairfield, Brisbane	Luya Street	-27.50348, 153.02402	River Ville appears on this 1945 map. The first mention of Luya Street I can find is in the 1949 electoral roll and then in a 1950 advertisement. So it was renamed in the late 1940s. Given Luya is a very uncommon name, it is most likely refers to Abraham Fleetwood Luya who was the mayor of South Brisbane (died 1899) or perhaps his descendants, some of whom lived in Annerley Road (although they are not residents in the area in the 1940s).
River Road, Yeronga / Yeerongpilly, Brisbane	Paragon Street	-27.522172, 153.013052	River Road appears in the 1949 electoral rolls but in the 1959 electoral rolls it is known as Paragon Street.
River Terrace, Chelmer, Brisbane	Longman Terrace		Comparison of 1884 map with current map. [source]
Riverton Terrace, Chelmer, Brisbane	Queenscroft Street	-27.5112, 152.9767	Appears as Riverton Terrace in a 1948 street directory and the 1949 electoral roll, but appears as Queenscroft Street in the 1959 electoral roll and on current maps. There is a newspaper reference to Riverton Terrace in 1954 but no mention of Queenscroft Street prior to 1955, so most likely renamed in the late 1950s.
Riverview Drive, Chelmer, Brisbane	Leybourne Street	-27.5160, 152.9816	Comparison of 1948 and 1956 street directories.
Riverview Street, South Brisbane area	Waterview Terrace?		Supposedly Riverview Street was renamed Waterview Street in 1909 [source] Today there is no Waterview Street but there is a Waterview Terrace.
Riverview Terrace, Annerley, Brisbane	Cronin Street	-27.50842, 153.03043	Riverview Terrace appears in the 1948 street directory, but in the 1956 street directory it has become Cronin Street.

Robert Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Ellery Street (gone)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Ellery Street appears in Kedron on a 1956 map, but in current maps has disappeared, replaced by parkland (Shaw & Mercer Parks).
Robert Street, Kedron, Brisbane			This [source] claims that a Robert Street in Kedron was renamed Groom Street in 1938. However, a comparison of the 1938 and 1948 suggest it was Rose Street in Kedron that was renamed Groom Street.
Robert Street, Manly, Brisbane	Allara Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Robert(s) Street, New Farm, Brisbane	Welsby Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source][source]

Robert Street, Rocklea, Brisbane	Sperling Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Robert Street, Runcorn, Brisbane	Lampson Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Unfortunately my 1938 street directory provides only an index and not a map of Runcorn, but comparison with the 1948 street directory supports this renaming occurred.
Robert Street, Toowong, Brisbane	Benson Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Robert Street, (somewhere in) Brisbane	Bytheway Street		Renamed in 1938. The [source] gives the old and new street name but not the suburb. However, I cannot find Bytheway Street on any map (and, yes, the name is real as there really was a Gympie pioneer called Edward Bytheway).
Rockhampton-Banana Road (part of)	Banana-Rannes Road		Renamed in 1930 [source]. This road no longer appears on maps but may be the Leichhardt Highway.
Rockhampton-Banana Road (part of)	Westwood-Wowan Road		Renamed in 1930 [source]
Rode Street, Nundah, Brisbane	Bridge Street	-27.3993, 153.0602	By comparison with 1882 Nundah Railway Station estate map with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). Note this is about Rode Street not Rode Road (which sometimes is written as Rode Street, just to be confusing). Bridge Street first appears in the 1906 electoral roll and in a 1906 newspaper advertisement, but does not appear in the 1903 electoral roll, suggesting the name changed between 1903 and 1906.
Rome Street, Yeronga, Brisbane	Kadumba Street		In 1938, the road running from Fairfield Avenue to Rhyndarra Street had four separate names: Railway Avenue, Dunn Street, Rome Street and Kadumba Street. The entire road was renamed Kadumba Street. [source]

Russell Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	Clancarty Street (gone)		Too many Russell Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] but cannot be confirmed as my 1938 street directory does not cover that area.

S
Sachs Street, Cairns	Grafton Street	-16.92215, 145.77404	Named Sachs Street in 1876 after Leopold Ferdinand Sachs, the manager of the A.J.S. Bank. Renamed in 1936 because the street had developed a "notorious reputation". The name Grafton refers to Grafton NSW, the birthplace of Alderman Hoare's wife. [source] [source]
Sandeman Street, Grange, Brisbane	Raymont Road	-27.42126, 153.00685	Sandeman Street was absorbed into Raymont Street in 1933 [source]
Sandgate Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Bungama Street, Deagon	-27.32688, 153.06626	Appears as Sandgate Street in the 1948 street directory and Bungama Street in the 1956 street directory.
Savage Street, Grange, Brisbane	Inglis Street	-27.42817, 153.01600	Appears as Savage Street on this 1895 McKellar map and through to this 1920 map and the 1922 electoral roll, but as Inglis Street in this 1923 map. The first newspaper mention of Inglis Street was in May 1922, so appears to have been renamed in early 1922. As this street is immediately adjacent to Wilston State School in 1920, it seems likely that Inglis Street was named after local alderman Alexander Inglis, who was also chairman of the school committee. [source]
Savage Street, South Brisbane area	Bourne Street?	-27.49425, 153.03750	Supposedly Bourne Street was renamed Savage Street in 1909 [source] but it is Bourne Street and not Savage Street that appears on current maps
Sceptre Row, Jubilee Estate, Brisbane	gone	-27.45403, 152.98711	Sceptre Row appears on the Jubilee Estate map of 1897 [source]. It was a cul-de-sac parallel and south of Royal Row, connecting to Empress Terrace at approximately 154 Empress Terrace, Bardon (today). The estate map shows Sceptre Row as giving d. Possibly the decision to create the park made the creation of Sceptre Row unnecessary, although it is mentioned in two newspaper advertisements in 191access to a number of housing plots that are today being used as parkland [source] and 1917 [source] and appears on a 1920 map [source] and in street directories until at least 1948, yet there are no electoral roll entries for the street.
Schofield Street, South Brisbane area			George Street was renamed in 1909 to be Scholfield Street [source] but neither name appears on current maps. Can anyone help?
School Street, Upper Paddington, Brisbane	Lugg Street, Bardon	-27.45093, 152.99129	Comparison of 1917 street directory and 1931 street directory show School Street has been renamed Lugg Street. The street was created in about 1886 apparently to provide access to the Ithaca school (now Ithaca Creek State School) [source].
Second (2nd) Avenue, Albion, Brisbane	Hadfield Street, Windsor		There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Second (2nd) Avenue, Baddow, Maryborough	Edward Street (part of)	-25.52809, 152.68365	Based on comparison of the 1963 and 1968 electoral rolls, First Avenue appears to have been between Neptune and Tanner Streets and was amalgamated into Campbell Street which was previously only north-west of Neptune Street. Second Avenue ran parallel to First Avenue between Neptune and Tanner Streets and appears to have been similarly amalgamated into Edward Street.
Second (2nd) Avenue, Banyo, Brisbane	Hindmarsh Street		There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. (See also Second Street, Banyo below)
Second (2nd) Street, Belmont, Brisbane	Durimbil Street, Camp Hill		There were too many Second Streets in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Curiously the adjacent First Street and Third Streets were not renamed.
Second (2nd) Avenue, Boondall, Brisbane	Holroyd Street		There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and supported by comparison of 1938 (index but no map) and 1948 street directories.
Second (2nd) Avenue, Bulimba, Brisbane	Dilkera Street, Balmoral		There were too many Second Avenes in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Second (2nd) Avenue, Chermside, Brisbane	St Lawrence Street, Wavell Heights		There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane and so Second Avenue in Chermside was renamed Haddon Street in 1938 [source][source] and this is confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. However comparison between the 1956 street directory and current maps suggests Haddon Street has been subsequently renamed St Lawrence Street.
Second (2nd) Avenue, Coopers Plains, Brisbane	Longden Street		There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Second (2nd) Avenue, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Wilpunda Street, Greenslopes		There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Second (2nd) Street, Cribb Island, Brisbane	Woolwich Street gone	approx -27.36139, 153.11445	Appears as Second Street in a 1955 street directory, but it is Woolwich Street on this 1959 map. It is not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
Second (2nd) Avenue, Darra, Brisbane	Harrington Street		There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Second (2nd) Avenue, Murarrie, Brisbane	Wareela Street	-27.46264, 153.10310	There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Second (2nd) Avenue, St Lucia, Brisbane	Guilfoyle Street	-27.49795, 152.99662	There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. This [source] claims that it was Second Avenue in Zillmere that was renamed Guilfoyle Street, but this is not confirmed by any street directories so I believe it is an error.
Second (2nd) Avenue, Tarragindi, Brisbane	Ellington Street	-27.51817, 153.04337	There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Second (2nd) Avenue, Zillmere, Brisbane	Halcomb Street	-27.35744, 153.04287	There were too many Second Avenues in Brisbane. Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Second (2nd) Street, Banyo, Brisbane	Meymot Street	-27.37537, 153.07349	This 1884 map shows it as Second Street (not to be confused with a separate Second Avenue). By 1926, a street directory shows it as King Street. It was one of the 14 King Street's renamed in 1938 [source][source] and the new name of Meymot Street is confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. (See also Second Avenue, Banyo, above)

Serpentine Avenue, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Ashgrove Avenue	-27.4381, 152.9993	Originally called Serpentine Avenue, then in the 1920s/1930s Three Mile Scrub Road, and finally Ashgrove Avenue. [source]
Shade Street, Eagle Farm, Brisbane	gone		Comparison of 1956 street directory and current maps shows that Shade Steet has been subsumed into industrial estates. Shade Street was a short north-south street starting at Want Street (between Violet Street and Schneider Road) and going south to Westaway Street (also now gone but about half-way to Eagle Farm Road now Kingsford Smith Drive).
Shelley Street, Banyo	Vauxhall Street, Virginia	-27.370489, 153.063781	Appears as Shelley Street in an 1948 street directory but as Vauxhall Street on current maps. It is one of several streets renamed in this area, possibly when the industrial estate was built?
Sherwood Road, Rocklea, Brisbane	Medway Street (maybe)		In 1938 Queen Street was renamed Medway Street [source][source]. Queen Street appears in the 1931 and 1938 street directories as the street north and parallel to Sherwood Road. However, in the 1948 street directory, the former Queen Street has been renamed Sherwood Road (to the north) and the former Sherwood Road is called Queen Street (to the south), as they appear on current maps. It is not clear if the names were really swapped, or whether the street directories in 1931 and 1938 were wrong.
Short Street			Please note that many Short Streets got their name because they were short (that is, not long). Some of them are very short indeed. This means that they were sometimes left off less detailed maps. In some cases, street directories have the street name in the index with a map reference but the street does not actually get shown on the map referred to. So, if your Short Street is not shown on a map, don't automatically assume it wasn't there.
Short Street, Alderley, Brisbane	Ainsley Street	-27.42648, 153.00305	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Short Street, Annerley, Brisbane	Laurier Street	-27.50563, 153.03276	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Short Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Darreen Street, Greenslopes		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note there were other Short Streets in close proximity to this one (although technically in different suburbs) so also consider Short / Birch Street and Short / Lindsay Street as possibilities.
Short Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Lindsay Street		Renamed about 1938. Indexed in the 1938 street directory as Lindsay Street (late Short Street), Coorparoo, yet appears in the 1938 and 1948 maps as Short Street still. Appears as Lindsay Street in the 1956 street directory. Note there were other Short Streets in close proximity to this one (although technically in different suburbs) so also consider Short / Dareen Street and Short / Birch Street as possibilities.
Short Street, Corinda, Brisbane	Probyn Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Short Street, Deagon, Brisbane	Yaldwyn Street (gone)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. The area is not covered by the 1938 street directory, but Yaldwyn Street appears in the 1948 and 1956 street directories. However, at some time after that, it disappeared, apparently subsumed into parkland. Not to be confused with the two Short Streets in Sandgate (see below).
Short Street, Dunellan, Brisbane	Birch Street, Greenslopes		Renamed in 1938 [source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note there were other Short Streets in close proximity to this one (although technically in different suburbs) so also consider Short / Dareen Street and Short / Lindsay Street as possibilities.
Short Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Belar Street, Eight Mile Plains		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Unfortunately this area is not covered by my street directories of that period so I am unable to confirm this.
Short Street, Hawthorne, Brisbane	Birkai Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Short Street, Hendra, Brisbane	Bannister Street (gone)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, Short / Bannister Street has disappeared from the 1956 street directory, apparently absorbed into Brisbane Airport. Short / Bannister Street was a short north-south street running from Hamilton Avenue north towards Webster Avenue (but not quite intersecting with it) approximately in line with Blackburn Street. Today the Southern Cross Motorway has been built over that area.
Short Street, Indooroopilly, Brisbane	Allwood Street (east of the railway line)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. The 1938 street directory shows Short Street as a short street on the east of the railway line which connects Railway Avenue to Clarence Road, while Middle Street is a very short street from Coonan Street to the western side of the railway line (it is not clear if the railway underpass existed at that time). However, in the 1948 street directory, both Short Street and Middle Street have been renamed Allwood Street.
Short Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Bromley Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Short Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Backhouse Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Short Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Bagot Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Short Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Bedford Street, Gordon Park		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Note that today Bedford Street starts at Beaconsfield Terrace and continues down past the intersection with Stirling Street, then there is a missing segment and then a short east-west segment off Montrose Street. Only the short segment off Montrose Street was originally Short Street. The longer segment and missing segment was originally Granville Terrace [source]. Note that source claims that Bedford Street had been renamed Granville Terrace but a study of old maps confirms that it was Granville Terrace that was renamed Bedford Street.
Short Street (off Herston Street), Kelvin Grove, Brisbane	McComb Street		Renamed in 1927 [source]
Short Street, Norman Park, Brisbane	Bodalla Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Short Street, Red Hill, Brisbane	Vowles Street	-27.45248, 152.99806	It is listed as Short Street in Harris's 1917 street directory, but appears as Vowles Street in this 1917 map, so the name change appears to have occurred around 1917. Not to be confused with another renamed Short Street in Red Hill, see below.
Short Street, Red Hill, Brisbane	Atkins Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. Not to be confused with another renamed Short Street in Red Hill, see above.
Short Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Verney Street	-27.319710, 153.064074	Appears as Short Street in the 1919 street directory but as Verney Street in the 1931 street directory. Not to be confused with another Short Street in Sandgate (see immediately below) nor the Short Street in Deagon (see above).
Short Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Bamford Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. Not to be confused with another Short Street in Sandgate (see immediately above) nor the Short Street in Deagon (see further above).
Short Street, Sherwood, Brisbane	Borden Street	-27.52734, 152.98517	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. Unlike most Short Streets, this one was relatively long!
Short Street, Southport	Suter Street	-27.97014, +153.41136	Appears on the 1882 Sparkling Wave estate map as Short Street [source]
Short Street, West End, Brisbane	Baynes Street	-27.48475, 153.01376	Absorbed into Baynes Street in 1909. [source]
Short Street, Windsor, Brisbane	Batchelor Street	-27.43476, 153.02510	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Short Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Balaclava Street	-27.49018, 153.03891	In this 1880s Woolloongabba Estate map (note that North is to the left on this map) Short Street connects Balaclava Street to Logan Road.Today, it is called Balaclava Street which has a Y-shape due to retaining its original eastern end pf Balaclava Street in addition to Short Street.
Short Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Denbigh Street, Dutton Park	-27.49595, 153.02647	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Short Street, Wooloowin, Brisbane	Ashbolt Street	-27.41746, 153.04295	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Silcock Road, Stafford, Brisbane	Webster Road
Sinnott Street, Caboolture	gone / never built?	-27.0835, 152.9557	A circa 1888 Caboolture estate map shows Halloran, Sinnott and Lagoon Streets being east of Battersby Street (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). These streets are mentioned in the 1889 advertising of the land sale but, while Battersby Street exists to this day), I cannot find any subsequent mention of these other three streets and there are not 3 streets to the east of Battersby Street. Perhaps the land sale was unsuccessful and the land was subsquently developed in a different way.
Skinner Street, South Brisbane area	Webb Street		Supposedly renamed in 1909 [source] but it is Skinner Street not Webb Street that appears on current maps.
Skinner Street, Spring Hill, Brisbane	Union Street	-27.45874, 153.02528	Renamed before December 1870. [source]
Slack Street, Northgate, Brisbane	Belmore Street	-27.38547, 153.06442	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 maps.
Somerset Parade, Holland Park, Brisbane	Cavillon Street	-27.51885, 153.06519	In 1926, the Tarana Estate subdivision was advertised with an estate map showing Somerset Parade. It is now Cavillon Street. Brisbane City Council records suggest the renaming occurred on 19 October 1928. The new name can be seen in this 1937 map.
South Coast Road, Brisbane	Logan Road	-27.52428, 153.06711	Also called Pacific Highway from 1931 [source] but the current Pacific Motorway was a new development and did not follow the old road/highway.
South End, Shorncliffe, Brisbane	Allpass Parade (part of)	-27.32887, 153.08697	In a 1919 street directory, the north-east section of the current Allpass Parade from Jetty Street to Shorncliffe Parade is called South End, while the south-west section from Jetty Street to Friday Street is called Wharf Terrace. In a 1931 street directory, both have been replaced with Allpass Parade.
Southport Road, Brisbane	Logan Road		Also called Pacific Highway from 1931 [source] but the current Pacific Motorway was a new development and did not follow the old road
Spencer Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	Gainsborough Street	-27.53505, 153.01925	By comparison of 1889 estate map of Moorooka Park and current maps
Spring Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	Baxter Street	-27.45428, 153.03215	Renamed about the mid 1950s (based on a contributor's memory) which is consistent with this 1951 map showing it as Spring Street, while this 1958 map shows it as Baxter Street.
St George Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Lockhart Street	-27.48961, 153.02967	This street has been listed as being renamed from George Street (not St George Street) to Lockhart Street in 1938 [source], a 1938 street directory and a 1933 map both show that Lockhart Street was formerly St George Street and I can find no evidence of it ever being called George Street.
St John Lane, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Captain Burke Park (gone)		If Annie Street today extended a little bit north across Holman Streeet, then that would be the site of St John Lane. It appears in a 1948 street directory, but not in a 1956 one (but it may be too small to show at that scale). However, it appears that it may have been closed in 1935 as part of the preparations for the construction of the Story Bridge (then known as the Jubilee Bridge) [source].
St Lucia Road, St Lucia, Brisbane	Sir Fred Schonell Drive		The name was changed [source]. Sir Fred Schonell was the vice-chancellor of the University of Queensland (at the end of St Lucia Road) so most likely the road was renamed after his death in 1969.
St Mary Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Amesbury Street		On an 1887 map and a 1917 street directory it appears as St Mary Street (noting that St Mary's Church is next door). The 1931 and 1938 street directories calls it Church Street. It was renamed in 1938 to Amesbury Street [source] [source] and this is confirmed by a 1956 street directory.
Station Street, Albion / Ascot / Clayfield	Upper Lancaster Road, Clayfield	-27.42972, 153.05425	The Upper Lancaster name appears in newspapers from 1928 onwards [source] but a 1931 street directory still shows it as Station Street. However, a 1938 street directory shows it as Upper Lancaster Road.
Station Street, Banyo, Brisbane	Kennaway Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Station Street, Chelmer, Brisbane	Regatta Street		Comparison of a 1884 map and a current map shows that Station Street that used to run between River Terrace (now Longman Terrace) and Albert Street (now Victoria Avenue) towards the now disappeared Albert railway siding has been renamed as a extension of Regatta Street (which previously went only from the river to River Terrace, now Longman Terrace). [source]
Station Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Yarrabin Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, this 1887 map shows the street (unnamed) before the railway station was built so presumably the street was presumably not called Station Street back then and there is yet another earlier name. [source]
Station Road, Darra, Brisbane	Darra Station Road		Comparison of 1956 street map with current maps. Note that there is (and was) a Station Avenue (running north of the railway station)
Station Street, Geebung, Brisbane	Innes Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. This area is not covered by the 1938 street directory maps so I cannot confirm it was previously Short Stret, but in index of the the 1948 street directory, there is the entry "Innes Street, Geebung (late Station Street) ".
Station Street, Manly, Brisbane	Yamboyna Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Station Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	Ipswich Road		The 1931 street directory shows that Ipswich Road was disconnected between Keats Street, Moorooka, and Station Street, Rocklea; I suspect this disconnection probably occurred as a result of building the train line through this area. The two segments of Ipswich were then connected via Station Street, Moorooka (between Keats Street and Hamilton Road, Moorooka) and then by Rice Street (from Hamilton Road to Station Street, Rocklea). It appears that in 1938 Station Street, Morooka, and Rice Street were both renamed to create one continuous Ipswich Road [source][source] which is confirmed by the 1948 street directory.
Station Street, Morningside, Brisbane	Waminda Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Station Street, Norman Park, Brisbane	Myall Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Station Street, Nudgee, Brisbane	Hayden Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Station Street, Oxley, Brisbane	Tavistock Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Station Street, Runcorn, Brisbane	Abercorn Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. As this area is not covered by the 1938 street directory, I cannot confirm it was originally Station Street.
Station Street (East), Sherwood, Brisbane	Bute Street, Sherwood		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Station Street, Sherwood (west), Brisbane	Marlborough Street		According to this [source] May Street was renamed Marlborough Street in 1938 but comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories show Mary Street was renamed Galloway Street (which appears in the following entry in the source, suggesting a printer's error). There is a Marlborough Street in Sherwood, and comparison of the 1938 street directory and the 1948 street directories show it was Station Street in 1938 and Marlborough Street in 1948 and this name change occurred in 1938 [source].
Station Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Gillingham Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Station Street, Wooloowin, Brisbane	Hamley Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Station Street, Wynnum, Brisbane	Mungala Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Stephens Street, South Brisbane area	Chelmsford Street		Supposedly Stephens Street was renamed Chelmsford Street in 1909 [source]. On current maps there is no Chelmsford Street but there is a Stephens Road.
Stewart Parade, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Lindsay Street		Stewart Parade appear in a 1917 street directory but in a 1931 street directory it appears as Lindsay Street, probably to avoid confusion with nearby Stewart Road.
Stewart Road, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Frasers Road		The western end of Stewart Road was renamed Frasers Road between 1941 and 1948. Not to be confused with Frazer / Fraser Street in Ashgrove (now Kinnaird Street). Not to be confused with nearby Stewart Parade (which is now Lindsay Street).
Stonehaven Street, Northgate, Brisbane	gone		The streets in this area were replaced by large industrial sites.
Stratton Road, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	Commercial Road		Commercial Road is shown on 1865 map of Brisbane as Stratton Road. [source]
Strickland Terrace, Sherwood, Brisbane	Strickland Terrace, Graceville Strickland Terrace, Sherwood		In 1956 Strickland Terrace commenced at the eastern end of Long Street East and then curved southwards connecting with the eastern end of Central Avenue and Borden Street (was Short Street). In 1956 Flood Street commenced at the eastern end of Plumer Street (formerly William Street) and then curved southwards following the line of the creek to connect with Thomas Street (which then ran right down to the creek).The current Strickland Terrace is in two segments, the northern part commencing further north at Strong Avenue with a new section down to Long Street East, while the southern part commences at Central Avenue and extends further south through to Plumer Street and incorporates the northern part of the old Flood Street. The rest of Flood Street, the eastern end of Thomas Street and the section of Strickland Terrace between Long Street East and Central Avenue are not longer streets, but a close-up look at a current map shows walking tracks / bike paths along their former routes. Most likely the frequent flooding of the creek resulted in the loss of these street segments.
Stuart Street (South), Toowoomba	Geddes Street		Name changed occurred during the 1940s based on comparison of 1941 and 1949 electoral rolls [source]. The existing Stuart Street in Toowoomba appears to be formerly known as Stuart Street (North). As you will see on a current map, Geddes Street and Stuart Street are in a line, interrupted by parkland and the museum.
Sturt Street, Banyo, Brisbane	Froude Street (north-west segment)	-27.374483, 153.075315	This 1884 map (North is downwards) shows Collard Place commencing at the intersection of Musgrave Street and Station Street (now Kennaway Street) and continuing north-east parallel with the railway line. Sturt Street is shown as commencing at Collard Place and heading north-west. Looking at a 1926 street directory, the short north-east segment of Victoria Street appears to be the start of Collard Place and the north-west segment of Victoria Street appears to be Sturt Street. The remainder of Collard Place (further to the north-east) does not appear in the 1926 street directory. Victoria Street appears in a 1956 street directory but in a 1975 street directory, it has been renamed to its current name Froude Street.
Suburban Boundary Road, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	O'Keefe Street?
Sunday Street (part of), Shorncliffe, Brisbane	Park Parade	-27.32415, 153.08394	In a 1917 street directory, Sunday Street connects from Signal Row down to South End (now Allpass Parade). But in a 1931 street directory, the section from Signal Row to Swan Street has been renamed Park Parade and Sunday Street is reduced to Swan Street down to Allpass Parade. However, newspapers references to Park Parade can be found as early as 1902. [source]
Sutton Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	Alexandria Street		An 1885 drainage sketch shows Sutton Street running from Gregory Terrace straight down to Leichhardt Street (now St Pauls Terrace) and heading south-east across Wickham Terrace and beyond (the end of the road is not known in the sketch). A 1927 map shows the southern leg of the present-day Alexandria Street as being called Sutton Street (the northern leg was Alexandria Street), suggesting the section of Sutton Street from Gregory Terrace to the intersection with Alexandria Street has been subsumed into the Exhibition Grounds by this time. Today it is all Alexandria Street. This section of Sutton Street from St Pauls Terrace to the current railway line no longer exists, probably subsumed by the large buildings in that area. It is not so clear what happened to Sutton Street beyond the current railway line, but its position is roughly that of the current East Street, so it may be that the cutting of Sutton Street with the development of the railway line
Sutton Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	gone		Sutton Street ran east from Main Street toward the river. On a 1887 map it is shown as extending to the river, but by 1917 it stops short of the river. It appears in street directories until at least 1956. Note that the 1887 map shows it as being south of William / Mackenzie Street but the later directories show it as north of William / Mackenzie Street. It is not clear if the street moved or the maps became more accurate over time.
Sylvan Street, Toombul / Nundah, Brisbane	Huet Street		Street directories from 1931 and 1938 show Sylvan Street running between Shaw Road and Brooks Street, south and parallel to Buckland Road. The 1948 street directory shows that the Huet Street has been extended to incorporate the old Sylvan Street and a new Sylvan Street (parallel and north of Buckland Road) has been created running from Shaw Road to Imbros Street. Note in 1938 Imbros Street ran from Edinburgh Castle Road to just south of the junction with Lemnos Street, but in 1948 it has been extended south to Buckland Road.
T
Tamrookum Street, New Farm, Brisbane	Heal Street	-27.46186, 153.04349	In 1880, local residents asked for street to be renamed from Tamrookum Street to Robert Street (no reason was given). However, there was already a Robert Street in Spring Hill, so the Brisbane City Council decided to rename it Heal Street after the former mayor Daniel John Heal. [source]
Taunton Street, Holland Park, Brisbane	Avesnes Street	-27.51824 153.06598	In 1926, the Tarana Estate subdivision was advertised with an estate map showing Taunton Street. It is now Avesnes Street. Brisbane City Council records suggest the renaming occurred on 19 October 1928. The new name can be seen in this 1937 map.
Taverner Street, Chermside, Brisbane	Manitoba Place		There were too many First Avenues in Brisbane so First Avenue in Chermside was renamed Taverner Street in 1938 [source][source] and this is confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, by comparison of 1956 street directory with current maps, First Avenue / Taverner Street would appear to have been renamed Manitoba Place. However, First Avenue / Taverner Street used to connect through to Bilsen Street while Manitoba Place does not. Meanwhile a new First Avenue has been created in Chermside (too far away to be related to the original one).
The Esplanade (part of), Cairns	Wharf Street		Renamed about 1888 [source]
Theresa Street, Maryborough	Garden Street?	-25.52590, 152.69867	The former St Thomas's Anglican church in Maryborough was at 197 Pallas Street and which was described as being on thc corner of Theresa Street when its foundation stone was laid in 1877.[source] Today the church building is not on a corner but is one lot down from the intersection with Garden Street, so that is most likely to be current name of Theresa Street. The nearest intersection in other direction is with Churchill Street so that might be possibly the new name of Theresa Street.
Theresa Street, Toowong, Brisbane	Landsborough Terrace (part of)	-27.48215, 152.99473	Paradise Avenue appears in a 1917 map as a short east-west street off River Road (now Coronation Drive) terminating at a small creek (which we cannot see on modern maps, but is about half way between Coronation Drive and the railway line). Today Paradise Avenue is the section of Landsborough Terrace beside the Regatta Hotel. No other parts of the present day Landborough Terrace are visible in the 1917 map. However, on a 1931 map, we see all of the present Landsborough Terrace but shown as three separately named segments. Theresa Street is the north-south section of Landsborough Terrace off Sylvan Road, which gives access to the east-west Landsborough Street which runs between the railway line and the creek, and then Paradise Avenue from the creek to River Road (Coronation Drive) unchanged from the 1917 map. The 1931 map does not show if there is a bridge/connection across the creek, but a 1938 map seems to suggest that the creek is still separating Landsborough Street and Paradise Avenue. The three separately named streets are still visible in a 1975 street directory, but appear as the single Landsborough Terrace in a 1990 street directory. [source] [source]
Third (3rd) Avenue, Banyo, Brisbane	Apperley Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Third (3rd) Avenue, Bulimba, Brisbane	Pollock Street		Renamed in 1938 to be Bilyarra Street [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. But appears in the 1956 street directory to current maps, it appears as Pollock Street (perhaps Bilyarra Street was too easily confused with nearby Bilyana Street)?
Third (3rd) Avenue, Coopers Plains, Brisbane	Dartmouth Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Third (3rd) Street, Cribb Island, Brisbane	Ridgewell Street (gone)	approx -27.36088,153.11421	Appears as Third Street in a 1955 street directory, but it is Ridgewell Street on this 1959 map. It is not on current maps as the entire suburb of Cribb Island and parts of Lower Nudgee were subsumed into Brisbane Airport around 1970.
Third (3rd) Avenue, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Baragoola Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Third (3rd) Avenue, Michelton, Brisbane	Irvine Street		Renamed to Cahill Street in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, it appears to be have been absorbed into adjoining Irvine Street in the 1956 street directory and in current maps.
Third (3rd) Avenue, Murrarie, Brisbane	Billungah Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Third (3rd) Avenue, Zillmere, Brisbane	Rodway Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Thomas (3rd) Street, Northgate, Brisbane	gone		The streets in this area have been replaced by large industrial estates
Thomas Street, Sherwood, Brisbane	Thomas Street (shortened)		In 1956 Thomas Street extended through to the creek and Flood Street commenced at the eastern end of Plumer Street (formerly William Street) and then curved southwards following the line of the creek to connect with Thomas Street. A close-up look at a current map shows walking tracks / bike paths along their former routes. Most likely the frequent flooding of the creek resulted in the loss of these street segments.
Thoms Avenue, Banyo, Brisbane	Thoms Avenue	-27.353239, 153.070827	In a 1948 street directory, Thoms Avenue connected Aberdeen Parade through to Holme Avenue. Today, the creation of College Way and the associated suburban development have shortened both Thomas Avenue and Holme Avenue and they no longer have a junction.
Thoms Street, Toowoomba	Peel Street		Renamed in the 1970s to avoid confusion with Thomas Street [source: a reader] and confirmed by comparison of 1959 and 1978 electoral roll entries.
Thorton Lane, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Pixley Street		Appears as Thornton Lane in a 1887 map, but as Pixley Street in a 1917 street directory and confirmed by this 1930 newspaper article. Presumably it was renamed to avoid confusion with adjoining Thornton Street.
Three Mile Scrub Road, Ashgrove, Brisbane	Ashgrove Avenue Ashgrove Crescent		On a 1917 street directory, it appears as Three Mile Scrub Road and generally follows the route of the current Ashgrove Avenue except that it winds around following the current Ashgrove Crescent (as the straighter segment of Ashgrove Avenue now adjacent to Ashgrove Crescent did not exist in 1917). In the 1931 street directory, it appears as Ashgrove Avenue (still following the same route as 1917 -- it is not until some time after 1956 that Ashgrove Avenue takes the straighter line along the former Graham Street). This source claims it was originally called Serpentine Avenue.
Three Mile Scrub Road, Kelvin Grove / Newmarket, Brisbane	Kelvin Grove Road		Kelvin Grove Road is shown on an 1865 map of Brisbane as "road from Three Mile Scrub" [source]
Tingal Street, Wynnum North, Brisbane	Southwick Street		Renamed in 1928 [source][source] However, there is a long Tingal Road adjoining it.
Toad Street, Shorncliffe, Brisbane	Todd Street	-27.32589, 153.08345	Street directories in 1917 and 1919 show this street (both on the maps and in the index) as Toad Street. A 1931 street directory calls it Toad Street on the map but Todd Street in the index. In 1938 the street directory calls it Toad Street on both the map and index. In 1948 onwards it appears as Todd Street.
Toohey Road, Moorooka, Brisbane	re-routed		The 1956 street directory shows Toohey Road running straight north-south as opposed to the current curved segment through Toohey Forest Park. It gave access to four other streets -- Loraine (formerly Hill), Clancarty (formerly Russell), Grey and Derby Streets -- that no longer exist.
Toohey Street, South Brisbane area	Bank Lane? or Toohey Street		Supposedly Bank Lane was to become absorbed into Toohey Street in 1909 [source] but both Bank Lane and Toohey Street appear on current maps.
Toombul Avenue, off Rode Road, Nundah, Brisbane	Kinmond Avenue		Renamed in 1928 [source] and confirmed by comparison of 1917 and 1931 street directories.
Toombul Road, Northgate, between Harold Street and the railway line	Old Toombul Road	-27.38766, 153.06813	Toombul is shown in a 1960-61 street directory as a straight road which crossed the railway line, presumably with boomgates. However, more recent redevelopment of Toombul Road changed the alignment of that road to build an overpass over the railway line running parallel and east of the original Toombul Road. The bypassed section of Toombul Road was then renamed as Old Toombul Road and it no longer crosses the railway line.
Truby Street, Alderley, Brisbane	Milford Street		Renamed in 1938 [source]. Milford Street appears in the 1938 street directory and there is no street there in the 1931 street so I cannot confirm it was originally Truby Street.
Tully Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Sixth Avenue	-27.31600, 153.07004	In 1913, the council decided to rename Petty, Wilson, Cooksley, Henry, and Tully streets to be First, Second, Third, Fifth and Sixth Avenues respectively. [source] But it leaves us wondering about the origins of Fourth Avenue.
Tully Street, Thursday Island	Douglas Street	-10.5836, 142.2164	[source] Presumably renamed after Government Resident and former Queensland Governor John Douglas
Twickenham Place, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	St Vincents Hospital (gone)		Twickenham Place was a short street running west from Main Street, parallel and slightly north of Cairns Street. It appears in the 1956 street directory but appears to have been subsequently subsumed into Mt Olivet Hospital (Hospice) which was renamed St Vincents Hospital in 2010.
U
University Road, Mitchelton, Brisbane	Pascoe Street		In a 1948 map, University Road ran from Samford Road straight north to St Helens Road despite being interrupted by the railway line. In a 1956 map, University Road is showing as being only from Samford Road north to the railway line, while the section from the railway line to St Helens Road has been renamed Pascoe Street. The section of the current University Road that turns west at the railway line and intersects with Glenholm Street must have been created after 1956.
Union Street, Newstead, Brisbane	Proe Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
Urangan Road, south of Hervey Bay	Booral Road	-25.34382, 152.83322	This long road has had many names. It also passes through many suburbs. It was known as Urangan Road from at least 1869 [source] and was the location of the Urangan Road State School, then variously as Urangan-Bingham Road [source] or just Bingham Road, then by 1941 it was Nikenbah Bingham Road (1941 map) and now Booral Road. Not to be confused with Urangan Street in Torquay.

V
Venice Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	gone		Appears in a 1956 map but not on current maps.
Victoria Street, Banyo, Brisbane	Froude Street	-27.37440, 153.07523	This 1884 map (North is downwards) shows Collard Place commencing at the intersection of Musgrave Street and Station Street (now Kennaway Street) and continuing north-east parallel with the railway line. Sturt Street is shown as commencing at Collard Place and heading north-west. Looking at a 1926 street directory, the short north-east segment of Victoria Street appears to be the start of Collard Place and the north-west segment of Victoria Street appears to be Sturt Street. The remainder of Collard Place (further to the north-east) does not appear in the 1926 street directory. Victoria Street appears in a 1956 street directory but in a 1975 street directory, it has been renamed to its current name Froude Street.
Victoria Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	Godwin Street	-27.45227, 153.05622	Victoria Street (on the western side of the Bulimba Memorial Park) appears in a 1948 street directory, but as Godwin Street in a 1956 street directory. Not to be confused with the nearby Victoria Street, Balmoral.
Victoria Street, Fortitude Valley / Newstead, Brisbane	Doggett Street	-27.45449, 153.04268	Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication. The new name honoured Alderman Doggett. [source][source]
Victoria Street, Jubilee Estate, Brisbane	Carmel Street, Bardon	-27.45396, 152.98472	Victoria Street appears on the Jubilee Estate map of 1897 [source] and appears on a 1920 map [source] but has become Carmel Street in a 1931 street directory. The new name might be related to the Carmel Presbyterian Church which was established in nearby Kennedy Terrace in 1904 [source][source].
Victoria Parade, St Lucia, Brisbane	Sir William MacGregor Drive (part of), University of Queensland	-27.49286, 153.01507	A 1917 street directory shows Victoria Parade as a stretch of road following the line of the river from the (now) Toowong Rowing Club to Blair Drive. In 1926 funds were donated to establish the St Lucia campus of the University of Queensland on what was then described as farmland, so it is possible that Victoria Parade was never really developed. Certainly there is no sign of a road in that location in this 1936 photo [source].
Victoria Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Jurgens Street	-27.48884, 153.03678	It appears as Victoria Street on the 1881 estate map, but it is Jurgens Street in this 1889 newspaper article [source]
W
Wallace Street, Chermside, Brisbane	Kuran Street	-27.39031, 153.03502	Appears in the 1938 street directory as Duff Street, in the 1948 street directory as Wallace Street (presumably an extension of the still existing Wallace Street west of Gympie Road), and in the 1956 street directory as Kuran Street. See also this 1937 map (as Wallace Street) and this 1955 map (as Kuran Street).
Wandal Street, Rockhampton	Wilkinson Street	-23.37045, 150.49550	Renamed in 1926 to avoid confusion with nearby Wandal Road [source]
Warwick Street (off Cosker Street), Annerley, Brisbane	Marjorie Street	-27.52116, 153.03273	Renamed in 1927 [source] possibly because there is another Warwick Street in Annerley.
Water Street, Alderley, Brisbane	Moran Street	-27.42742, 153.00338	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Water Street West, Highgate Hill, Brisbane	Dorchester Street	-27.48324, 153.02127	Water Street West was supposedly renamed plain Water Street in 1909 [source]. However, in 1938 Water Street West was again renamed, this time to Dorchester Street [source][source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Water Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Boothby Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Water Street, Mt Gravatt, Brisbane	Coora Street, Wishart		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. The area is not covered by my street directories so I cannot confirm it.
Water Street East, South Brisbane	Water Street		Supposedly Water Street East was renamed Blocksidge Street in 1909 [source] but Water Street East was still in existence (off Stanley Street roughly opposite Raymond Terrace) until the Mater Hospital extensions and busway were built around the 1990 and after that appears to called Water Street. There is no sign of Blocksidge Street in the 1956 map nor current maps.
Water Street West, South Brisbane	Dorchester Street		Water Street West was supposedly renamed plain Water Street in 1909 [source]. However, it must not have happened, because in 1938 Water Street West was again renamed, this time to Dorchester Street [source][source][source] and this change is confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Water Street, Windsor, Brisbane	Allom Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of the 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Water Street, (somewhere in) Brisbane			In 1938, 10 Water Streets were renamed but unfortunately we don't know what suburb they were all in or what their new name was.
Waterford Street, Oxley, Brisbane	Avalon Street		There were too many Margaret Streets. Renamed Waterford Street in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. However, current maps have the street called Avalon Street.
Waterloo Street, Humpybong	Redcliffe in the vicinity of George Street	-27.22966, 153.09384	The Tunbridge Wells estate was sold in 1885. [source] Most of the street names on the estate map (apart from George Street) do not exist today. Can you help?
Waterworks Road, Red Hill, Brisbane	Musgrave Road	-27.4566, 153.0092	Renamed in 1889. [source] Note that only the more inner city part of Waterworks Road was renamed. Waterworks Road is still a long road running from Red Hill out to The Gap.
Webb Street, South Brisbane area	Skinner Street?		Supposedly Skinner Street was renamed Webb Street in 1909 [source] but it is Skinner Street not Webb Street that appears on current maps.
Webber Street, Torwood / Toowong, Brisbane	Tristania Drive?, Bardon	-27.46782, 152.97730	In 1938 Fourth Avenue (which ran from Fifth Avenue in a south-westerly direction down to Stuartholme Road) was renamed Webber street [source][source] and this is confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Webber Street can still be found in the 1956 street directory, but current maps no longer show such a road. Tristania Drive appears to be in same position in terms of the connection to Fifth Avenue but doesn't go through to Stuartholme Road although the small south-westerly cul-de-sac may be the remants of that connection.
Wecker Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Kirkland Avenue	-27.50117, 153.05214	Renamed in 1914 due to anti-German sentiment in World War 1. [source] This street was part of the Wecker Estate (see above). Presumably renamed after Alexander Morrison Kirkland who lived in Wecker Street and had been a chairman of the Coorparoo Shire Council.
Weedon Street, off Stanley Street, South Brisbane			Supposedly Church Avenue was renamed Weedon Street in 1909 [source] but neither appears on current maps.
Wellington Road, Banyo	Stanworth Road	-27.351467, 153.063274	Wellington Road appears in a 1948 street directory but current maps call it Stanworth Road. Note Bicentennial Road did not exist in 1948.
Wellington Street, Newstead, Brisbane	Creswell Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
Wendt Street, Annerley, Brisbane	Victoria Street, Fairfield	-27.50574, 153.02350	Appears as Wendt Street in a 1919 street directory but as Victoria Street in a 1931 street directory.
Westaway Street, Eagle Farm, Brisbane	gone		Comparison of 1956 street directory with current maps shows that Westaway Street has been subsumed into industrial estates. Westaway Street ran from Roman Street to Schneider Road roughly half-way between the railway line and Eagle Farm Road (now Kingsford Smith Drive)
Wharf Street, Brisbane	gone		According to this 1887 map, Wharf Street ran between Alice Street and Margaret Street, parallel to but south-west of William Street. Not to be confused with other Wharf Street that still exists to this day.
Wharf Street, New Farm, Brisbane	Lamington Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source][source]. The name presumably honours the former Governor of Queensland, Lord Lamington.
Wharf Street, Newstead, Brisbane	Gordon Street		Renamed in 1904 to avoid duplication [source]
Wharf Street, North Rockhampton	Reaney Street		Renamed in 1925 to avoid confusion with the Wharf Street on the south side of Rockhampton [source]
Wharf Terrace, Shorncliffe, Brisbane	Allpass Parade (part of)	-27.32970, 153.08437	In a 1919 street directory, the south-west section of the current Allpass Parade (from Jetty Street to Friday Street) is called Wharf Terrace, while the north-east section from Jetty Street to Shorncliffe Parade is called South End. In a 1931 street directory, both have been replaced with Allpass Parade.
Whitley Street, between View Street and Enoggera-Terrace, Paddington Brisbane	Ottis Lane		This street existed in 1930 [source] and appears on a 1956 map. Comparison with current maps shows it has been renamed Ottis Lane.

William Street, Breakfast Creek, Brisbane	Higgs Street, Albion		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Not to be confused with William Street, Hamilton (subsequently renamed Irving Street and now Balowrie Street).

William Street, Coopers Plains, Brisbane	Willingdon Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Eagle Junction, Brisbane	Fitzroy Street, Clayfield		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Hamilton, Brisbane	Balowrie Street	-27.437122, 153.065862	Appears on a 1907 map as William Street, in street directories from 1917 to 1948 as Irving Street, with Balowrie Street being mentioned in a March 1949 newspaper advertisement. Not to be confused with William Street in Breakfast Creek (now Higgs Street, Albion).
William Street, Humpybong	Redcliffe in the vicinity of George Street	-27.22966, 153.09384	The Tunbridge Wells estate was sold in 1885. [source] Most of the street names on the estate map (apart from George Street) do not exist today. There is a William Street today in Redcliffe but it does not intersect with George Street. Can you help?
William Street, Indooroopilly / Taringa, Brisbane (west of Moggill Road)	Payne Street	-27.4946, 152.9754	By comparison of an 1887 Nelson estate map with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). It appears as Payne Street on a 1895 map.
William Street, Indooroopilly, Brisbane (east of Moggill Road)	Usher Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Mackenzie Street		William Street appears in an 1887 map, but it is Mackenzie Street in the 1917 street directory. Note that there was another William Street in Kangaroo Point (see below).
William Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Llewellyn Street		Renamed in about 1936 [source] because there were too many William Streets. Confirmed by comparison of 1931 and 1938 street directories. Note that there was another William Street in Kangaroo Point (see above).
William Street, Lota, Brisbane	Ambool Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Moorooka, Brisbane	Amery Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note that William / Amery Street terminated at the intersection with Glen Street at that time and did not connect through to Forest Street as it does today.
William Street, Morningside, Brisbane	Algoori Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Amega Street, Mount Gravatt East		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] but this area is not covered by my 1938 and 1948 street directories to confirm it.
William Street, Mount Gravatt, Brisbane	Balcha Street, Holland Park		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Northgate, Brisbane	Stonehaven Street, Virginia (gone)		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Stonehaven Street appears in Virginia in the 1956 street directory, but subsequentlys streets in this area of Virginia have been subsumed into large industrial sites.
William Street, Nudgee, Brisbane	Somers Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Nundah, Brisbane	Wade Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note in 1938 William Street had two disconnected segments, one coming south from Goss Road down to the intersection with Maddock Street and then terminating shortly after in a cul de sac, while the other segment came north from Hamilton Road. In the 1948 street directory, they have been connected up to form a single street.
William Street, Oxley, Brisbane	Bannerman Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note at this time, William / Bannerman Street commenced at Oxley Road and went east a short way, not joining any other streets. In the 1956 street directory it connects through to Campana Street. The connection through to Ipswich Road (giving it a strange "Y-shape" it has today) must have occurred after 1956.
William Street, Paddington, Brisbane	Mort Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Rockhampton, Brisbane	Kelly Street		Renamed in 1927 [source] presumably to avoid confusion with the other William Street

William Street, Runcorn, Brisbane	Dew Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Dew Street appears in the 1948 street directory but this area is not covered by the 1938 street directory so I cannot confirm it was originally William Street.
William Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Ashford Street, Shorncliffe		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Sherwood, Brisbane	Plumer Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

William Street, Taringa, Brisbane (east of Moggill Road)	Cunningham Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Taringa / Indooroopilly, Brisbane (west of Moggill Road)	Payne Street	-27.4946, 152.9754	By comparison of an 1887 Nelson estate map with current maps (courtesy of State Library of Queensland). It appears as Payne Street on a 1895 map.
William Street, Toowong, Brisbane	Dampier Street, Taringa		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Virginia, Brisbane	Stonehaven Street (gone)		Renamed in 1938. The [source] gives the old and new street name but not the suburb (but Stonehaven Street appears in Virginia in a 1956 map). The streets in this area of Virginia have been replaced by large industrial sites.
William Street, Windsor, Brisbane	Fuller Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
William Street, Woolloongabba, Brisbane	Abingdon Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

William Street, Zillmere, Brisbane	Gillies Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Note at this time William / Gillies Street commenced at Muller Street and went west, intersecting with Beckman Street, and then went west for another approx 200 metres as a cul de sac. In the 1956 street directory Gillies Street has come further west but still ends in a cul de sec (almost but not quite intersecting with Church Street) and Yukon Street and Saxby Streets have been created and intersect with Gillies Street. The connection through to Church Street must have occurred after 1956.
Wilson Street, Coorparoo, Brisbane	Carranya Street, Camp Hill		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Wilson Street, Groveley, Brisbane	Rolleston Street, Keperra		Renamed in 1938 [source][source]. Wilson Street still appears in my 1948 street directory (but is on the limit of the map coverage), but my 1956 street directory shows it as Rolleston Street.
Wilson Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	Baildon Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Wilson Street, Kedron, Brisbane	Sadlier Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.

Wilson Street, Paddington, Brisbane	Plunkett Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Wilson Street, Sandgate, Brisbane	Second Avenue	-27.31909, 153.07176	In 1913, the council decided to rename Petty, Wilson, Cooksley, Henry, and Tully streets to be First, Second, Third, Fifth and Sixth Avenues respectively. [source] But it leaves us wondering about the origins of Fourth Avenue.
Wilson Street, South Brisbane area	School Street		Supposedly Wilson Street was renamed School Street in 1909 [source]. However, both Wilson Street and School Street appear on current maps, so it's not clear what happened.
Wilson Street, Taringa, Brisbane	Whitmore Street		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories. Wilston Street can be seen on the left hand edge of this 1890 real estate map.
Wilson Street, Windsor, Brisbane	Lowerson Street, Lutwyche		Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Wilson Street, Yeerongpilly, Brisbane	Curzon Street	-27.52949, 153.00461	Renamed in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories.
Wilston Road, Wilston, Brisbane	Lamond Road	-27.43338, 153.01749	The Wilston Estate was sold in 1885 [source]. Wilston Road appears on the 1885 estate map, but it appears as Lamond Road on a 1917 map. There is another Wilston Road in nearby Newmarket.
Wilton Street, South Brisbane area	Peterson Street? or Wilton Street?		Supposedly Wilton Street was absorbed into Peterson Street in 1909 [source] but both Wilton Street and Peterson Street appear on current maps.
Windmell / Windmill Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane	McLachlan Street		Windmell Street (from James Street to Brunswick Street) and Hall Street (from Brunswick Street to Bowen Terrace) were renamed into a single street called McLachlan Street in 1925 [source][source]. Both of these sources call it "Windmell" but the 1917 street directory uses the more conventional spelling of "Windmill". In the 1917 and 1919 street directories, Windmell / Windmill was not shown as a through street but rather as two segments (both called Windmell / Windmill), one longer section starting at Brunswick Street and stopping just short of Morgan Street and a shorter section starting at James Street and finishing at Connor Street. I am guessing the missing section may have been part of the forecourt of St Patrick's Catholic Church? Anyhow, it seems the shorter segment from James Street to Connor Street was known as Little / Lower Windmell / Windmill Street to distinguish it from the other segment.
Witton Road (part of), Indooroopilly, Brisbane	Radnor Street	-27.50467, 152.97108	A 1948 street directory appears to show Witton Road extending all the way through to the bridge over the creek beside Foxton Street. However, in the 1956 street directory, it shows the current situation where Witton Road terminates at the intersection with Twigg Street and it is Radnor Street from Twigg Street through to Foxton Street.
Wood Street, North Rockhampton	Pine Street	-23.35416, 150.52772	Renamed in 1927 [source] presumably to avoid confusion with Wood Street on the south side of Rockhampton
Wood Street, South Brisbane area	Whynot Street?	-27.48476, 153.00888	Supposedly Whynot Street was absorbed into Wood Street in 1909 [source] but it is Whynot Street and not Wood Street that appears on current maps.
Woodbine Street, Blackall	Coronation Drive	-24.4216, 145.4643	Renamed in about 1953 in honour of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II [source: a reader]. Note that there is still a Woodbine Street in Blackall separated from the now Coronation Drive by the railway line and a Woodbine Road.
Woodness Street, South Brisbane area	End Street?		In 1909 End Street was renamed Woodness Street [source] but there is no Woodness Street on current maps and there is an End Street. Is this the "renamed" End Street or another one?
Wynnum Road, East Brisbane, Brisbane	Lytton Road		Renamed before 1939 [source]. I am not sure when this renaming must have occurred as Lytton Road appears on street directories back to 1917 in exactly the same position as it has today. I cannot find any map ever showing it as Wynnum Road.

Yarramba Street, Cannon Hill, Brisbane	gone		In 1938 Edward Street was renamed Yarramba Street [source][source] which is confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories, but no longer appears on current maps as it has been absorbed into Bill Cash Memorial Park. Edward / Yarramba Street commenced at Wynnum Road opposite Stanton Street (probably the park entrance today) and ran NNE (parallel with Barrack Road) until it intersected at a 3-way intersection with Whitworth Road (which crossed the railway line) and Andrews Street (probably a small extension of the current street).
Yarung Street, Bulimba, Brisbane	gone		Edward Street was renamed Yarung Street in 1938 [source][source] and confirmed by comparison of 1938 and 1948 street directories, but the street has completely disappeared on a 1956 map having been absorbed into the Bulimba Barracks. Edward / Yarung Street was the street immediately north and parallel to Carbeen Street, running from Baldwin Street across Bolan Street and toward (but did not actually connect to) Taylor Street (Carbeen Street did not connect through to Taylor Street either at that time).
Yeerongpilly Street, Fairfield, Brisbane	Mearns Street		Renamed in 1936 to avoid duplication [source]. It is not clear what other Yeerongpilly Street existed at that time as there are none on current maps.

Churches

For the most comprehensive list of Queensland churches (of about 5000 existing and closed churches), please see Thom Blake's Queensland Religious Places database. Another useful website is Churches Australia.

The first church in a district was usually a small timber structure. Often, as the population of the area grew, a larger and more impressive church was built. Sometimes the old church was demolished but often it was re-used as a church hall, Sunday school or other church purpose. It was sometimes relocated as part of the process to give the new church the more commanding position on the street front. In some cases it was relocated to be the first church in a new district.

Falling numbers of people attending church services often leads to the closure of a church leading to its reuse for other purposes or demolition. If you are looking for an old church, it is more likely that it was repurposed/demolished/relocated than renamed. Here is a very long list of closed Anglican (Church of England) churches in the South Queensland Diocese.

The amalgamation of many of the Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian churches into the Uniting Church in Australia occurred in 1977. This often resulted in 2 or 3 church buildings in a suburb at a time when congregations were getting smaller. As a result, a number of the church buildings were re-purposed or demolished.

Old name	Address, map links	Latitude & Longitude	What become of it, with dates, notes & sources
Ashgrove Presbyterian Church, Ashgrove, Brisbane	16 Oleander Street, Ashgrove	-27.445560, 152.986280	This church was being constructed in January 1936 as a Presbyterian church. [source] It opened on Saturday 7 March 1936 as the Ashgrove Presbyterian Church.[source] In 1959 it was modified and renamed St David's Presbyterian Church.[source] Following the amalgamation of the Presbyterian Church into the Uniting Church, it appears to have become no longer needed and since at least 1996 it has been a private home. It was listed on the Brisbane Heritage Register on 30 October 2000. [source] View it!
Catholic Apostolic Church, Brisbane	16 Manning Street, South Brisbane	-27.4750, 153.0142	In June 1888 the first Catholic Apostolic Church in Queensland was opened at 16 Manning Street, South Brisbane.[source] This religious denomination believed in the return of Christ prior to the death of their apostles (the last of whom died in 1901) and, when this did not occur, it led to a decline of the church both in terms of its members but, without its apostles, no further ministers could be appointed. [source] The South Brisbane church was burned down on Saturday 21 July 1917, [source] but a new brick church was built [source] but this church was never consecrated (apparently this required an apostle). The last minister at South Brisbane, Joseph Todd Young, died on 22 February 1932 and the South Brisbane church continued to operate under its deacons until the death of its last deacon in 1957. In 1962 the South Brisbane church building was acquired by the Anglican Church and became the third St Thomas' Anglican Church in South Brisbane.[source] The denomination gave away its Australian church buildings in the 1960s and 1970s.[source] It is unclear if this was the means by which the Anglican church acquired the South Brisbane church. The Anglican church ceased to use the church in 1979 and sold the church building in 1984 into private ownership, [source] but the church building still exists as at 2020.[See it!]
City Congregational Church, Brisbane CBD	409 Adelaide Street, Brisbane (gone)	-27.464191, 153.030723	The City Congregational Church was the successor of the Wharf Street Congregational Church. The congregation bought a block of land in Queen Street extending through to Adelaide Street. Initially they constructed a church hall on the Adelaide Street side of the block which was used for church services from January 1928 with the intention that a church would be built on the Queen Street side of the block, but this did not occur due to the Great Depression. In January 1942 during World War 2, the Australian Government took over the site for war work and the congregation relocated to Albert Street Methodist Church. [source][source] temporarily before leasing a former Presbyterian Church in Wickham Terrace. The congregation never returned to this site. It is now modern commercial buildings.
Hill End Presbyterian Church / Mission Rooms, Hill End, Brisbane	18 Mitchell Street, West End	-27.485934, 153.005268	Opened in 1891. It was amalgamated into the Uniting Church in Australia in 1980. Repurposed as a childcare centre in 1988. [source]
Holy Family Catholic Church, Indooroopilly, Brisbane	35 Ward Street, Indooroopilly	-27.499968, 152.980057	Opened on 5 July 1926 and designed like many early Catholic churches to be used as both a church and a school. In 1963 a new Holy Family Catholic church was built beside the old church. The old church continues to be used as part of the Holy Family Catholic School. [source]
Holy Spirit Anglican Church, West Toowong, Brisbane	Exmouth/Orchard Street, Toowong	-27.4846, 152.9779	Opened on 21 November 1959. Closed 28 November 2006. A 1975 street directory has it at 11 Exmouth Street but a 1990 street directory has it as 45 Orchard Street (two adjacent sites). The 11 Exmouth site is now an Anglicare aged care facility. The 45 Orchard Street site is a house.
Home Creek Methodist Church	Chinchilla Wondai Road, Cushnie (gone)	-26.3665, 151.7708	This 1943 map shows a church (marked with a "+") on south-eastern corner of the intersection of Chinchilla Wondai Road and Denmark/Harms Road. The only church I can find mention of in the Home Creek area is a Methodist Church. The earliest mention I can find of this church is 1909 [source] and the latest is 1949 [source]. This newspaper article suggests that the church was founded between 1906 (Mrs Rackemann's arrival) [source] and 1909 (first mention above).
South Bank Baptist Church, South Brisbane	128 Vulture Street, South Brisbane	-27.483184, 153.027522	A Baptist Sunday school was established in 1857, but it was not until July 1872 that the Vulture Street Baptist Church was built at 128 Vulture Street (corner of Christie Street).[source] It was later renamed the South Brisbane Baptist Church. The church was rebuilt in 1966, reopening on 10 December 1966. In 2003 it was renamed the South Bank Baptist Church. It was demolished in early 2013 when the congregation moved to a new church at 859 Stanley Street, Woolloongabba. As at 2020, it is called Church@TheGabba.[source][source][source]
South Brisbane Baptist Church	128 Vulture Street, South Brisbane	-27.483184, 153.027522	A Baptist Sunday school was established in 1857, but it was not until July 1872 that the Vulture Street Baptist Church was built at 128 Vulture Street (corner of Christie Street).[source] It was later renamed the South Brisbane Baptist Church. The church was rebuilt in 1966, reopening on 10 December 1966. In 2003 it was renamed the South Bank Baptist Church.

Stanley Street Methodist Church, South Brisbane	Wesley Church, Kangaroo Point		In 1887 the congregation relocated from their Stanley Street Methodist Church to their new Wesley Church between Linton and Princess Streets, Kangaroo Point [source].
St Davids Presbyterian Church, Ashgrove	16 Oleander Street, Ashgrove	-27.445560, 152.986280	This church was being constructed in January 1936 as a Presbyterian church. [source] It opened on Saturday 7 March 1936 as the Ashgrove Presbyterian Church.[source] In 1959 it was modified and renamed St David's Presbyterian Church. In 1977 it became part of the Ashgrove parish of the Uniting Church. Since 1996 it has been a private home. It was listed on the Brisbane Heritage Register on 30 October 2000. [source] View it!
St George's Greek Orthodox Church, Brisbane CBD	44 - 48 Charlotte Street, Brisbane CBD (gone)	-27.471679, 153.025850	The first sod was turned on 4 November 1928. The church was officially opened on 30 March 1929. [source][source] View it! It became too small with the wave of Greek immigration after World War 2 and a new St George's was built at 33 Edmondstone Street (corner Besant Street) at South Brisbane (-27.479889, 153.015622), which opened on 24 April 1960. [source] It is unclear to me what happened to the Charlotte Street Church after the new church opened, but, as at 2020, 44-48 Charlotte Street is a high-rise building.
St John's Anglican Church, Kuraby	1410 Beenleigh Road	-27.6059, 153.0934	St John's Anglican Church was dedicated on 19 June 1960 by Archbishop Reginald Halse. It closed circa 1989.[source] It was purchased in the early 1990s by the Islamic community and converted it into Kuraby Mosque.[source] View it!

St Stephen's Anglican Church, Coorparoo	30 Stirrat Street, Coorparoo	-27.36690, 151.58949	Built in 1922 on Cavendish Road, it was relocated to the rear of the church block to be used as a parish youth centre to make way for the new Stephens Church which opened in 1958. [source]
St Thomas' Anglican Church, South Brisbane (1858-1883)	Melbourne Street, between Grey and Stanley Streets, South Brisbane (gone)	-27.4736, 153.0185	There have been three St Thomas' Anglican Churches in South Brisbane. The first was on a block of land (1 acre 3 roods 8 perches) facing Melbourne Street and extending to Grey Street and Stanley Street, in the forecourt of the present-day Queensland Museum (see this 1865 map). The land was reserved in 1849. A building for a combined use as a church and school was built in August 1858. The church was adversely impacted by the construction of the 1874 Victoria Bridge as the bridge was higher and the approach roads had to be built up accordingly, resulting in the church being below the new road level, forcing the parishioners to approach the church from the rear (an extension of the present day Fish Lane through to Stanley Street). The church was used until 6 June 1883 when the congregation opened their new (and still operating) St Andrew's Anglican Church on the triangle of land between Vulture Street, Cordelia Street and Ernest Street (-27.4815, 153.0193).[source][source][source][source] This church building no longer exists.
St Thomas' Anglican Church, South Brisbane (1931-1962?)	68 Grey Street, South Brisbane (gone)	-27.4733, 153.0181	There have been three St Thomas' Anglican Churches in South Brisbane. The second opened on 10 May 1931 at 68 Grey Street and was to the immediate north of Fish Lane (which then extended through to Stanley Street) on the site of the current Queensland Museum. This is very close to the site of the first St Thomas's which was to the south of Fish Lane, possibly part of the original land parcel? [source] The building no longer exists, but it is unclear when it closed, presumably at / before the opening of the third St Thomas' Anglican Church in 1962.[source]
St Thomas' Anglican Church, South Brisbane (1962-1979)	16 Manning Street, South Brisbane	-27.4750, 153.0142	There have been three St Thomas' Anglican Churches in South Brisbane. The third St Thomas's Anglican Church opened at 16 Manning Street in the former Catholic Apostolic Church in 1962. The church operated to 1979, and was sold in 1984 and has subsequently been used as a home and commercial premises. [source] The church building still exists as at 2020.[See it!]
Vulture Street Baptist Church, South Brisbane	128 Vulture Street, South Brisbane (gone)	-27.483184, 153.027522	A Baptist Sunday school was established in 1857, but it was not until July 1872 that the Vulture Street Baptist Church was built at 128 Vulture Street (corner of Christie Street).[source] It was later renamed the South Brisbane Baptist Church. The church was rebuilt in 1966, reopening on 10 December 1966. In 2003 it was renamed the South Bank Baptist Church. It was demolished in early 2013 when the congregation moved to a new church at 859 Stanley Street, Woolloongabba. As at 2020, it is called Church@TheGabba.[source][source][source]
Wharf Street Congregational Church, Brisbane CBD	49 Wharf Street (corner Adelaide Street), Brisbane (gone)	-27.464583, 153.029486	The Wharf Street Congregational Church was the first Congregational church in Brisbane. It operated from June 1860 until October 1927 when the congregation relocated from their Wharf Street Congregational Church to their new location on a block between Queen and Adelaide Street, where they initially built a hall at 409 Adelaide Street, renaming themselves City Congregational Church. The Wharf Street church building was demolished in 1928.[source]

"Brynderwyn" (house), Upper Paddinton, Brisbane	24-26 Garfield Drive, Paddington (gone)	-27.458928, 152.990079	"Garfield" was the home built by Sir Arthur Rutledge in 1888 on Wettenhall's Hill, naming it after US President Garfield. He sold it in 1904 to W.R. Black, who sold it in 1908 to Sir Arthur Morgan, who renamed it "Clinton" (his wife's maiden name). At some time after Morgan's death in 1917, the house itself was sold to R.J. Archibald and the surrounding was sold off as Garfield Estate in 1924. See this 1924 map of the Garfield Estate showing the location of the house and the estate. R.J. Archibald renamed the house "Brynderwyn" (because his mother was Welsh). [source] In 1939, the house was sold for removal so a modern property could be built by the Archibald family; it was bought to be dismantled and the timbers reused to build a seaside home at Tugun.

Cabbage Tree Creek reservoir	Lake Manchester (dam)		Renamed between 1916 and 1928 [source]
Carrier Arms Hotel, Charleville	Bell's Hotel		Renamed about 1930 [source]. Unclear what happened to it after that but there is no Bell's Hotel today in Charleville. But there appears to have been an earlier Bell's Hotel in Charleville in 1912 [source] (and later dates) to add to the confusion. Bell's Hotel may have burned down [source].
Cascade Tea Gardens / Nightclub, Indooroopilly, Brisbane	179 Radnor Street and 8-18 Twigg Street, Indooroopilly	-27.505597, 152.968818	The tea gardens (later used as a nightclub) had a street address of Twigg Street and was situated on the riverbank [source] on the piece of land now bounded by Radnor Street (then Witton Road) to the north, Twigg Street to the west, and Kinloch Street to the south. By comparing 1946 aerial imagery with current street addresses suggests the piece of land is probably now 179 Radnor Street an 8-18 Twigg Street. There was a jetty on approximately the boundary of 8-10 Twigg Street.
Chelmer Swamp, Brisbane	Powenyenna Oval		1948 street directory shows the swamp; in the 1956 street directory it is a recreational reserve. It is not clear when it acquired its present name of Powenyenna Oval.
"Clifton" (house), River Terrace, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	178 River Terrace	-27.48042, 153.03376	The house that occupied the site is believed to have been relocated to Pullenvale. The land is currently vacant.
"Clinton" (house), Upper Paddington, Brisbane	24-26 Garfield Drive, Paddington (gone)	-27.458928, 152.990079	"Garfield" was the home built by Sir Arthur Rutledge in 1888 on Wettenhall's Hill, naming it after US President Garfield.

D
"Denholm", Kangaroo Point, Brisbane	St Vincents Hospital, 393 Main Street		Based on a 1887 map, the house "Denholm" appears to have been located on what is now the site of St Vincents Hospital. Denholm is listed as 393 Main Street in the 1922 electoral roll and Denholm was still in existence in 1930 [source], but appears to have been renamed "Riverton" in 1930 [source]. The electoral roll shows residents still at 393 Main Street in 1959, whereas Mt Olivet Hospice was established in 1954. It seems likely that some subsequent expansion of Mt Olivet overtook Denholm / Riverton. In 2010, Mt Olivet Hospice was renamed St Vincents Hospital [source].

Glanosmond (house), Old Cleveland Road, Camp Hill, Brisbane	Glanosmond, 22-24 Dorothy Street, Camp Hill, Brisbane	-27.490421, 153.071797	Originally on a 5 acre block, a 1920s? subdivision gave Glanosmond a new street address on a much smaller block. Probably the house itself did not move and Glanosmond Avenue (which runs from Old Cleveland Road and intersects with Dorothy Street) is most likely the former driveway to the house.
"Glenlyon House", Glenlyon Drive, Ashgrove, Brisbane	"Glenlyon House", Marist College Ashgrove	-27.445265, 152.979437	The house and its extensive grounds can be seen on a circa 1924 map.

"Hillbury" (house), corner of Miskin Street and Sherwood Road, Toowong, Brisbane	gone	-27.484229, 152.983735	I am told but have not personally confirmed that the book Arcadian Simplicity (written c 1890 by J B Fewings) gives the location as being on the corner of Miskin Street and Sherwood Road and that the property burned down. I don't know which corner. It was occupied by the Collings family at one time.
