Weldon's Sydney Street Directory
Brendan Terrett
Does anyone know any information about this street directory? It appears to be either a rip off or a spin off of the Melway style, but well before the first edition of Sydway was published. The font (Univers) is identical to the one used by Melway.
This dates to around 1984, while Sydway edition 1 wasn't published until 1994. The cover says 'A Runaway Publication', and the publisher is 'Weldon-Hardie'. I found a record on the National Library site, from an ACT library. Would be a shame if they only published a single edition before they turfed it!
Melway's website states that it took then ten years to compile the first edition of Sydway...perhaps they were behind this map and it flopped so it took them 10 years to reintroduce themselves in the Sydney market?
