OUR LITTLE CORNER OF THE WORLD

We owe a great deal to the following people: John Platt, Joseph and Peter Crebert, John Scholey, Charles Upfold, Thomas Tourle and William Arnott. If it had not been for these men, Mayfield and the surrounding areas would probably have had different names today.

Let us begin at the beginning shall we? Over the next couple of months or there will be short snippets,  posted to the blog, on the history of Mayfield and the surrounding areas including:

• People who were famous to these areas and their contributions to these areas
• How Mayfield and surrounds got their names
• Industries that came into this area
• The councils prior to 1900 and after 1900
• Mayors that influenced the names of our sport houses at Mayfield West School
• Schools in the area and how they came about

Finishing with Mayfield -East -West, Sandgate and Waratah as we know them today.
