History

Lefroy Road forms the northern boundary of the Lefroy Estate, which extended as far south at Lloyd Street. H Maxwell Lefroy was Comptroller (Superintendent) of the Fremantle Prison from 1859-1876. The portion of the street between South Terrace and Attfield Street was previously called Trinity Street (1908/09), then Sinclair St (1909/10). A 1981 photograph of the place shows the north east corner of the site cleared of all vegetation. In 2004, the former quarry between Lefroy Road and Clontarf Road was included in plans to rezone vacant land around Fremantle for residential infill.
