History
The suburb Beaconsfield was named after a property known as "Beaconsfield" which was located in the area in the 1880s and the name was officially adopted for the Post Office on the 1st August, 1894. The origin is unknown, but probably named after the town in England of the same name or the Earl of Beaconsfield, Benjamin Disreali, the ex Tory Prime Minister of England in 1881, who died in April 1882. He was created Earl of Beaconsfield in 1879.
The Rate books list a cottage and 10 acres at allotment number 34 /35 between 1885 and 1888. In 1889/ 90 the owner of allotment 35 is recorded as Elias Solomon. In 1895 the land was subdivided by Solomon.
Trafford Street was first gazetted on the 15 April 1921.
Lot 29 of 37 was vacant in 1900. In 1910/11 a cottage was on this lot, owned by Julia Thompson.
