Glebe : Boundary Stone, Jubilee Fountain & Plaque

The original western boundary of Sydney - the corner of Parramatta and Glebe Point Roads.
Sited here is the former University Hotel, opened 1858 and run by John Walton - perhaps best known for his time on the local Council.

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

Memorial to boxer David Sands - Empire Middleweight Champion, corner of Parramatta and Glebe Point Roads. Sands was tragically killed in a motor accident in 1952.

In Sydney he stayed at the University Hotel (behind this memorial - hence the location), and trained in Victoria Park across the road.
