Trove Tuesday - Ryhope on sale

Between July 1889 and December 1890 there were many articles on the local press about the sale of land at Ryhope. It appears that the vendors had some difficulty in selling off the land. By 1951 Samuel Charles Brown could not give away the land he had bought in Ryhope. 

A major site in Ryhope these days is The Lake Macquarie Memorial Park.
