1944 - WHERE IS CAINBIL STREET?
Cainbil Street—yes nearly every one has heard of Cainbil Creek, from whence this street gains its name. Why, of course that's the street where Mr. Harold Evans, of prize flower (not flour) fame, lives. Yes, Cainbil Street runs off Lynne Street due north to Rouse Street, the street wherein Mr. Jim Buckley, sen., lives. It contains a very fine terrace of houses, some of which were built, by Mr. Tom Wade, one-time butcher in the town, and contains the homes of Messrs. McGuinness, W. Lyons, B. Cotten, Fred. Lyons, Harold Evans, W. Croome, Norman Gudgeon, W. Lockerby, Stan Hawkins and Jack Taylor in that order. Like many in Gulgong, the street has houses one side only. This street is one of those greatly improved by the tree-planting activities of the council.
