The subdivision of the Summer Hill Estate in 1886 created Carrington Street and shows it running into Tillock Street which was later subsumed into Carrington Street. The subdivision plan shows a section that was 'reserved' and it is this section that appears for auction in 1887. Both plans take a bit of liberty in showing the distance from the lots to the railway station. It is understandable that there should be so many Victorian dwellings in Carrington Street because most of the development occurred well before 1900. As a result Carrington Street has a large number of Victorian dwellings from the early 1880s and it follows there isn’t a lot of leadlight in those houses because it wasn't fashionable or affordable in these years.
