Sydney's heritage buildings are under sustained threat from the NSW government.
Glebe Island Bridge has a website! New website highlights the past and potential of this wonderful asset, sadly now falling into greater and greater disrepair. The Society wants to see it restored and put into use as an attractive green pedestrian and cycleway linking Rozelle and Pyrmont.

A key principle in conservation areas is that if a 'neutral' building is to be replaced, the replacement must be sympathetic to its 'contributory' neighbours, rather than to any 'detracting' neighbours. This principle seems to have got lost in a recent development approval decision by City of Sydney Council.

I am a descendent of John Betts and Harriet Nisbett Betts, and their daughter Harriet Betts. I have some information that shows that they lived in the Glebe when it was first slotted into properties. Kew Cottage was where some family lived. I think there may be many bits of information but I wonder if you can provide a time line or if details exist of their presence and history. i have seen one story about a fire at Kew
Cottage. Does it still exist?
