This consisted of 10 acres and was bounded by Fifth Avenue on the West, Lefroy Road to the south, York Street on the east and Cockburn Sound Location 62 on the north. The land was advertised in the "Morning Herald" on 25th August 1885. On 24 October 1892 ownership passed to a family of Fremantle butchers, John, David and William Chester, who had a slaughterhouse on part of the land. On 29 August 1901 the land was transferred to a Fremantle Land Agent named Reginald George Webb.
