Jubilee Drive so called because it was started in Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee year of 1887. Brainchild of Stephen BALLARD. He designed it and carried out most of the work. It was started on 18th Jan 1887 and finished in October 1889 and all work was done with pick and shovel. It cost £794...SYD
