Well the street map would've looked a little different if Paddington Council had got its way back in the day. We've already learnt the Council was trying to get Cambridge Street to link up with New South Head Road. The article below from the Evening News of 6 September 1895 explains that they were trying to reclaim a portion of the infamous quarry to link up Sutherland Street to Cambridge Street (rough illustration above). I wish they did it, would be a great shortcut to the Four in Hand!
