Mr Astone transported hundreds of migrants and brought them to settle within the Northbridge area. During the 1950s, Mr Astone made a significant contribution to the local community through his work as the owner of a taxi fleet, fruit and vegetable vendor, and a crockery business where he established a vast network of Northbridge restaurant clients. His crockery business continued for 26 years. My father was a well known figure within the Northbridge community, who resided at 135 Bulwer Street for over 40 years. The cohort of students from that time (Highgate Primary School) remember Mr Astone as the 'Man with the red truck'."[4]
Perth Henry Baker - City Baker Henry Baker was a carrier...Mr Baker investigated in several properties. Hence, Baker Avenue remains alongside Birdwood Square between Bulwer Street and Brisbane Street.

Baker, City Baker.[5]

It had a prominent limestone wall and promenade built using material quarried from Mount Eliza.[citation needed]
Beaufort Street Perth By 1834 Henry Somerset or possibly Francis Beaufort Beaufort, of Beaufort-street, was that Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort, K.C.B., who, in 1829, the year in which Western Australia was founded, went to the Admiralty as hydrographer (or chief map-maker) to the Royal Navy and remained there mapping the seas of the world and their hidden dangers for the succeeding 26 years.

Broome Road Subiaco, Perth By 1894 Frederick Napier Broome Now Hay Street, Perth "Hay-street, too, perpetuates the name of a pioneer, and though its prolongation from East Perth to Subiaco meant obliteration of two other pioneer names - Howick and Broome - by which formerly the eastern and western ends respectively were known, it is preferable to continuing three names for one continuous thoroughfare...By-and-bye came Governor Broome and Broome-road, Subiaco (since ab-sorbed into Hay-street)- and the only remaining reminder in the city of the name Broome is a hotel!"[13]
Bulwer Avenue Perth 22 February 1899 Edward Bulwer-Lytton
Bulwer Street Perth August–September 1829 Edward Bulwer-Lytton One of the Main streets here in Perth, runs next to Hyde Park on its south side. Bulwer Street was named after Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, the novelist, who was Secretary of State for the Colonies 1858-59.[8]

Caroline Street Perth, West Perth By 1885 Now Kingston Avenue
Causeway Bridge Perth, East Perth By 1845 Now The Causeway Dual carriageway road traffic bridge that connects Perth and East Perth to the Canning Highway, Great Eastern Highway, Shepperton Road and Albany Highway. In 1839, a dam is constructed across the Swan River between the Perth shore and Heirrison Islands, and being a dam rather than a bridge, it became known as the Causeway. The name was retained for subsequent bridges built here, the first joining of the shores of the Swan River here with a bridge, occurring in 1843. This bridge remained in use until 1947. The post-war baby boom and increased immigration brought rapid growth to Australia's towns and cities, and growth in the number of vehicles and traffic increased greatly. Governments across Australia pursued road construction with great vigour, and it was at this time that the present Causeway was built and the boundaries of Heirrison Island were clearly defined with the building of the island's seawalls.[16] Causeway - Victoria Park.JPG

Perth, West Perth By 1885 William Cleaver Francis Robinson Smith Street, Fennell Street Governor William Cleaver Francis Robinson was thrice Governor of Western Australia.

Sections of the road were once called Howick Street (west of Barrack Street) and Broome Road (east of Thomas Street).[3] One block in the central CBD section is now a pedestrian mall with extremely limited vehicular traffic, so it is necessary to make a significant detour to drive the entire length of Hay Street.

Hutt Street Perth September 1840 John Hutt Now William Street In the mid-1880s Hutt Street remained on the periphery of the town centre with few substantial buildings, and expansion of the area was slow. The Gold Boom and increased migration to the area however changed this, and by the late 1880s intensive commercial and residential development of the area had begun. A mix of commercial and entertainment uses proliferated, with a number of trade and community organisations also having their origins in the area around this time. Hutt Street was one of the many Perth Streets that grew rapidly during this period.[33] The name recalls John Hutt, 1839-1846, the second Governor of Western Australia.
