Town Jetty #2 York Street

Year
1850
Description

A public meeting in 1849 voted in favour of building a town jetty at the foot of York Street as the Osnaburg Street jetty was inadequate and too far from the town centre.

Work was commenced in 1850 by a syndicate of Albany merchants. Winter rains washing down York Street buried the jetty piles in silt and the project was abandoned.
