The Highway listing in 1940 shows some severe road renaming between this year and 1938. This listing give a clearer idea of some of these alterations.
The 1938 directory of the Highway only exists up to 318 on the south side and 419 on the north side; and not listed at all in the 1934 directory as the early section is St George street.
