FIRE IN CHURCH-STREET. At about 1 o clock yesterday afternoon, the little homestead in Reid-street known as Cliff Cottage, one of the early built weatherboard houses in Newcastle, was in danger of being destroyed by fire. Fortunately, the police, who were assembling for lunch at the Watt-street barracks, saw the smoke early, and were on the spot very quickly. They assisted to remove as much of the furniture as they could into a place of safety, and then attempted to light the flames with water from a tank. Meanwhile, the fire-bell at the City Station had been rung, and the firemen were soon in attendance. The city men in charge of Mr. Hunsdale, got a stream on to the flames, and the Central Brigade lent assistance, while the services of the Now. castle West Brigade were at hand if re quired. The house is owned by Mr. Alexan der Lindsay, of Patrick-street, and was occupied by Mr. Thomas Finley. The fire occurred in a room off the kitchen, while Mrs. Finley was cooking, the flames being first noticed near the level of the ceiling. the chimney being one which served . two rooms. Before the spread of the flames could be altogether checked, sheets of the corrugated iron bad to be removed from the roof to get at the burning shingles underneath. The fire was put out in about fifteen minutes after the outbreak. The damage was not extensive, being estimated at under 201 pounds

Pre-settlement Condition In the early days of settlement the Cottage Creek catchment consisted of sandy and swampy flats. The vegetation was very scrub like and included species such as ti-trees. Natural watercourses wove through the lowlands, filtering and transferring water to the Hunter River outlet. The sand beds and swamps were important sources of water for aborigines and pioneer white settlers. How the Creek got its name. In the early convict days a cottage-like structure was erected on the eastern bank of the creek, about where Hunter Street west is now; the track to Maitland crossed the creek at this spot. The cottage was used to house the military guard to prevent convicts escaping. Eventually a bridge was built which later became known as the Cottage Bridge and hence lead to the name of Cottage Creek for the waterway

The traveller leaving Newcastle for Maitland in the 1830s journeyed along a lonely road, where once the aboriginal roamed in freedom.. Leaving the settlement by the sandy bush track which stretched away westward, the first habitation passed was the Cottage of Mr. Weller, situated some two miles out of town and from that point no other dwelling was reached until the traveller approached the vicinity of Platts farm
