Raceview
Description
Place TypeSuburbsHistory
Between Newtown and Silkstone, the farming station of the convict era known as the Plough or Ploughed Station eventually came into the hands of the squatter and politician Joshua Peter Bell, who called it The Grange. Horse races were held in this area in 1850 after the construction of a track and grandstand, followed by regular races from the formation of the North Australian Jockey Club in 1852. Hence Grange Road between Blackstone and Robertson Roads in Silkstone, which led to the course, and the later suburb of Raceview. The derivation of Cemetery Road, where the Whybird family settled in the 1900s, is more obvious; also Orchard and Orangefield Streets referring to the orchardist Jackes
