In 1855 19 year old chemistry student, future economist and logician William Stanley Jevons came to work as an assayer at the new Royal Mint in Sydney. Jevons and his colleague came to live in Annangrove Cottage on the Parramatta Road. Jevons many letters to his family described his life in Sydney including his walks through Johnston's Bush and along the dusty Parramatta Road. The chimneys of Annangrove Cottage can be seen above the shop fronts at the corner of Macquarie Street and Parramatta Road Annandale. In the 1950s, Sydney's extensive tram network was shut down. This saw the end of tram services through Annandale, along the Crescent, Booth Street and Parramatta Road. '50s Annandale: A Short Walk takes you back to Annandale of the 1850s and 1950s. The book includes historical maps and photographs which show how Annandale has evolved. Marghanita da Cruz has been gathering an Anecdotal History of Annandale since 1998.
