The Town Of Port Molyneux

The Town Of Port Molyneux.

An elaborate plan of the Port Molyneux township is preserved in the office of the Clutha County Council. The main part of the town was on both sides of that road which now leads from the old jetty up to Romahapa. This street was called Pendennis Street. About page 66 60 chains up the present main road, the layout culminated in an elaborate octagon, which ran round the area on which Mr. Andrew Wylie's house now stands.

The first road to the left was known as Flatholm Street, and this now serves as the road to Kaka Point and the Nuggets. Very few of the old sections are now distinguishable, the area now being grazing land.
