Cottesloe Street Names
Neither Cottesloe historians nor the Town of Cottesloe seem to have got together a list of street names with their origins, so I'll just note the one or two I am aware of – until someone does the job properly.
Albion Street, Cottesloe, is probably named for the Albion Hotel, which is four blocks away.
Angelo Lane. In recognition of a former rectory at 40 Napier Street and a church camp located at 2B Nailsworth Street. Mary Angelo was integral in the establishment of
St Philips Church & North Cottesloe Primary School. She also advocated for the spiritual wellbeing and education of local children.
Broome Street. Sir Frederick Napier Broome (1842-1896) was governor 1883-91.
Bullen Lane, Cottesloe, would be named for Robert Napoleon Bullen, the owner of the Albion Hotel from 1992.
Drayton Lane. The development at the Town’s former depot site (2B Nailsworth Street). In recognition of a former rectory at 40 Napier Street and a church camp located at 2B Nailsworth Street. Kenneth Drayton rescued St Philips church from closure and went on to be one of its most successful parish priests and community
builders.
Fahey Lane. In recognition of a former rectory at 40 Napier Street and a church camp located at 2B Nailsworth Street. John Fahey was a chaplain during WW1 & bore
the brunt of the pastoral duties in Gallipoli. Served at St Mary’s Church Star of the Sea in Cottesloe.
Kiln Lane. In recognition of the site’s former use as a quarry.
Marmion Street. William Edward Marmion (1845-1896) was Minister for Crown Lands.
