Jeffcott Street is a north-south street through the largest section of North Adelaide, South Australia. It goes around the sides of Wellington Square. The southern end continues south as over a bridge over the River Torrens and Adelaide Metro railyards to connect with the northern end of Morphett Street.
The Montefiore Road bridge is the latest of many on the site.[1]
Jeffcott Street was named in 1837 at a meeting to set street names after John Jeffcott, the first judge of the Supreme Court of South Australia and one of the members of the committee.[2]
