Lords Place

From The Orange Wiki

Lord's Place was so called because the track led from Blackman's Swamp up Bletchington Hill to Simeon Lord's Place. Simeon Lord who owned large areas of Orange figures prominently in early colonial history.

According to William Folster writing in the Central Western Daily many years ago an attempt was made to have the name changed to King Street. ‘The move was frustrated by interested people, particularly Mr L A Lane, Solicitor whose relatives had friendly associations with the Lord family long ago.’
