Land grants were given to the NSW Corp members and free settlers along
the George's River which gave people access by boat to Botany Bay. Settlement
expanded with the building of the railway and outlying villages began appearing
in the mid 19th century. The army camps at Holsworthy and Ingelburn further
expanded settlement. The City of Liverpool has undergone massive growth in
recent years. New residents of the area may be unaware of the city's history
as an important rural and industrial centre. Older residents may find once
familiar places peering at them from the pages of this book and relive memories
of past days in a very different place. This new edition contains stunning new photographs and updated text.
