Named afterLed to Ferry Point, ferry crossed river at this point.See alsoWater Street (Former name)DescriptionPoint Street led to Ferry Point, colloquially known as Willis' Point, from the south-easterly direction there was a track leading down Market Street. The present railway station is built on the base of the point, which is shown on early maps as a comparatively broad piece of land, composed of undulating white sand and covered with bushes and a growth of rushe on the Shoal Bay beach, which was on the easterly side of the point. At the Market Street end there was a water-hole and swamp, slightly further north a salt lagoon, dry in the summer. The original ferry crossed the river from the point to Lukin's Jetty, the approach from North Fremantle being by way of Water Street, which led to Lukin Street. The North Wharf has since been built on the site (Ewers). In 1937 the portion of Point Street from Cantonment Street to Elder Place was sold, (Governement Gazette 02.07.1937 p. 1073) and Elders extended their warehouse. Godsborough Street was created.
