AddressTerry Street, Albion ParkDescriptionMount Terry at Albion Park is named after original landowner Samuel Terry. Terry was convicted of the theft of 400 pairs of silk stockings and transported to Australia. Governor Macquarie granted Samuel Terry land in Albion Park (originally named Terry’s Meadows) in 1817 and by the time of his death, he was one of the largest landowners and the richest man in the colony. He gained the reputation of ‘Botany Bay Rothschild’ for his shrewd business dealings.
