Item: 183291
Surname: Grove (Groves)
First Name: Thomas
Ship: -
Date: 28 April 1953
Place: Waratah, Newcastle
Source: The Newcastle Sun
Details: Thomas Grove made money in a Newcastle hotel and invested in lands at Waratah and Broadmeadow. The 60 acres at Waratah he bought for 220 pounds from Simon Kemp. Grove built his home at the corner of Bridge and Hill Sts. He lived in splendid isolation and the next settlers were railway workers who built a shantytown near the Mater Hospital site. In 1859 Grove tunnelled for coal on the hillside and the Waratah Coal co. came into being and became a huge concern. The pit at Raspberry Gully (Charlestown) was also opened by this company in 1876. In 1863 Grove subdivided his Waratah land and soon there was a business centre there which Grove called Hanbury after his birthplace in England. But the railway authorities called the station nearby Waratah. Hanbury St. remains to perpetuate the name. (from the records of W. Gould)
