Elizabeth Road
From The Orange Wiki
On 16 August 1951 the Central Western Daily announced that Orange had three new street names. One of these was Elizabeth Road which it described as running along the northern boundary of the town in Bletchington. The article advised that it was previously called Phillip Street but Orange City Council changed its name because there is a Phillip Road running off Bathurst Road and there was sometimes confusion over the two.
The new name was suggested by Ald W H Marston to 'keep the name in the Royal Family'. The article continued 'Phillip Street was in the Canobolas Shire until the recent extension of the city boundaries'.
Today (2015)there is an Elizabeth Street in Glenroi near Moad Street. Further research needs to be undertaken on Elizabeth and Phillip Streets.
