Windback Wednesday - Beaumont Road

Do you know what road this is?

Beaumont Road, circa 1913. Courtesy of State Library of South Australia B763.

This photograph taken circa 1913 identifies the road as 'Beaumont Road, Burnside'. The words 'beau' and 'mont' derive from the French words for 'beautiful' and 'mount'. In 1964 this road was renamed by Burnside Councillor Michael Perry when the Burnside and Campbelltown Councils adopted one name for the whole road.
