Jeffcott Street is a north–south street through the largest section of North Adelaide, South Australia.
Route[edit]
It goes around the sides of Wellington Square. The southern end continues south as Montefiore Road over a bridge over the River Torrens and Adelaide Metro railyards to connect with the northern end of Morphett Street.
History[edit]
Jeffcott Street was named in 1837 at a meeting to set street names after John Jeffcott, the first judge of the Supreme Court of South Australia and one of the members of the committee.[2]
The Montefiore Road bridge below Jeffcott street is the latest of many on the site.[3]
In 2019, Jeffcott street's powerlines were put underground with funding from the Power Line Environment Committee.[4]
