Rhodes

Named in honour of the Walker family (of Rhodes).

This name commemorates Mary Bray, who settled in this area with her husband John Bray soon after receiving a grant of land. There are several streets adjacent that commemorate members of the family. Their home, “Braygrove” was the first house in Concord.

Attributed to John de Marquet Blaxland, eldest brother of Anna Walker (of Rhodes). The “de Marquet” (or “de Marquett”) surname was the maiden name of John’s second wife.

(Formerly Church Street and formerly part of Blaxland Road.) Named to honour Joseph Llewellyn, second husband of Mary Bray of Rhodes.

(Formerly part of Blaxland Road.) Named after the city of Leeds in West Yorkshire, England. Thomas Walker (of Rhodes) had family associations with that city and area.
