Sandford Street

Kensington Gardens

Origin of present name Named after the Sandford family. Jonathon Sandford, a lawyer of Chancery Lane, London, bought the three sections that made

up the land between Magill Road and Kensington Road, and then William Sandford (his son?) came to South Australia in 1839 to manage the estate. He established a sizeable wooden house that probably came with him, near the point where Stonyfell Creek crosses today's Glynburn Road, and named it Edgerton. Shortly afterwards the land in the vicinity of Sandford Street changed hands and in the 1840s 20 acres became an extension to the small farms and market gardens of Magill.
