Glebe : Boundary Stone, Jubilee Fountain & Plaque
The original western boundary of Sydney - the corner of Parramatta and Glebe Point Roads.

In front of it stands the boundary stone, the David Sands Memorial and of course the Jubilee Fountain - marking the 50th anniversary of Glebe Municipality.

Glebe, Sydney, NSW, Australia
The original western boundary of Sydney - the corner of Parramatta and Glebe Point Roads. Originally located nearby (in what is now Broadway), it was moved when the street was widened.
Sited here is the former University Hotel, opened 1858 and run by John Walton - perhaps best known for his time on the local Council.
The building was later transformed into the University Hall, and is still used primarily for student accommodation (for those studying at nearby Sydney University).
