| Just off Oxford Street, in a triangular pocket handkerchief of narrow streets, sit some of the oldest established residences in Paddington. This area - Gipps, Spring, and Prospect Streets - was designed not long after the decision was taken to establish Victoria Barracks (the late 1830s) on the other side of Oxford Street. Theses single-fronted terraces were the cottages for the tradesmen working on the construction of the new barracks to replace Wynyard Barracks. |
