I know this street is bank st., but in the 1980's to early 1900's the street was called Betley Street. My grandparents lived there for a short while.

Hi Tom
Sorry but I made an error, Bank St. was called Betley St in the 1880's to the early 1900's not the 1980's

i always thought the next street sydney street was the former betley street?

Thanks AD, whoever you are. Is that correct about Betley Street? My grandparents lived there for a short time. I thought it must have been a continuation of Bank st. at the time. They lived at 67, in 1901.
