It's all in the street names

Monday's Mercury had a story regarding a real estate developer who thought North Hobart's football oval could be replaced by facilities more beneficial to real estate developers. It contained this paragraph:

Mr Harris said the circa 1921 oval's history could be preserved by relocating the George Miller stand and scoreboard to the TCA, creating pathways named Cazaly, Plaister, Gorringe and Hudson Way and constructing a sporting monument."



Rest of story

Back to the usual

Also in the Mercury this week, a story about the Ross female factory which is interesting.

University of Manchester archaeologist Eleanor Casella has found evidence that the jail and workhouse for female convicts contravened British policy "for the management of imperial convicts" by allowing babies to stay with their mothers. Rest of story

If that's the case, it'd be an interesting line of study to pursue. What other evidence supports that idea? What variation in behaviour & attitudes was there between the sites? So much not known about that period :)
