History
HISTORICAL NOTES Barnfield Road was originally part of Location 702 granted to James Morrison in 1867. In 1880 James Morrison divided up Location 702 and put the lots up for sale as Claremont Estate. It was then further subdivided as the Yoevil Estate. In 1904 when the Claremont Rate Books commenced there were nine houses already constructed in Barnfield Road. One of these was No.12. By the end of the ‘Consolidation’ period (1915) there were a further nine houses built bringing the total number to eighteen. Within Claremont by the end of this period there had been an increase in housing from 428 in 1902 to 1,240 in 1915. Places built in the Consolidation Period were predominately brick Federation Bungalow and Federation Queen Anne. The largest area containing houses of this period is the area bounded by Mary, Gugeri, Melville and Loch Streets and Stirling Highway
