Catherine Street 2, Windsor

The land around Catherine Street was part of a 20 acre grant to Thomas Rickaby in 1798 described as portion 21, Parish of St Matthew, County of Cumberland. The grant was known as Catherine Farm after Rickaby’s de facto wife, Catherine Smith. The land was subsequently sold to Samuel Terry and upon his death was purchased by Maria Cope, a successful businesswoman in the colony. Cope purchased a total of 600 acres in the Windsor district from Terry’s estate in 1838 including Catherine Farm and proceeded to subdivide the land in the vicinity of The Terrace, Windsor forming Catherine and New Streets.
