2nd ed. Paperback large wide octavo, very good condition, maps, black & white text-photos, glossy paper, adverts, bottom corner front cover lightly creased, minor edgewear. 144 pp. Shirley Fitzgerald relates how the story begins in convict times when William Chippendale shot a man for stealing his potato crop. This fertile and well watered area was coveted by industrialists who manufactured Sydney's sugar, beer and gin. Pollution, planning disasters, illegal subdivisions, substandard buildings, and floods poured filth into the unsewared slums, all contributing to degrade Chippendale throughout the 19th century. Chippendale today, cut off by busy thoroughfares between Central Station and Sydney University, attracts residents to quiet but cluttered streets because of its closeness to the city centre and educational institutions. The first volume in the Sydney History Project sponsored by the Council of the City of Sydney. (Originally published in 1990. This second edition, sponsored by the City of Sydney History Project, has been slightly revised and updated, and with a postscript added.). Seller Inventory # 30413
