Redhead's Paddock

Glebe Back Watch played on Redhead's Paddock, somewhere near Glebe. The clue to the location of the paddock is a Newcastle Sun article from 1940. It reported the Traveller's Rest Hotel was near junction of Macquarie Street and Gordon Avenue. The hotel was managed by Joseph Redhead. An open paddock opposite the hotel was used by a variety of sports. The Newcastle Sun, 20 May 1940, page 4. The Macquarie Street mentioned is the current Glebe Road as can be seen from the parish map.
