| Quarry Street (1850–1870) | |
This street was laid out as Quarry Street in the original plan of Bloomfield by William Woolslayer in 1850.[1] Quarry Street is shown in maps from the 1850s and 1860s.[2][3][4][5]
The name was changed to Ella Street in 1870,[6][7] presumably because of duplication with Quarry Street in the Strip District.
