Statement of Significance
The streets, Bramble, McLaren and Mollison, provide the important residential base of this precinct with continuity of period and form of the housing within each being underscored by individually important house designs such as those listed above. The railway contains them but also provides a buffer which allows a visual focus on these streets because of their isolation and orientation towards it. The Gravel Hill School also serves as a visual focus because of its scale, its surrounding mature trees and its construction period which is related to that of the rest of the precinct.
The important St. Paul's block is linked to this precinct by the related period of the Albert Bush complex at the Williamson Street corner which offers commercial and ecclesiastical elements to the otherwise mainly residential precinct.
