Site of Tucker's Inn and the First Town Hall

Sign that reads 89 Blaxland. And under that, a plaque commemorating Tucker's Inn.

Diagonally opposite the former Post Office on the corner of Tucker Street and Blaxland Road, the site which is now occupied by the C3 Church was the location of the first Town Hall and Municipal Chambers and prior to that a school, Stanley's Inn and Tucker's Inn. 

The few shops along Blaxland Road from Tucker Street to Top Ryde City entrance still retain some trace of the first shopping complex, Anderson's Buildings of the early twentieth century.

Ryde's first purpose-built town hall was designed by Varney Parkes, the son of Sir Henry Parkes, and constructed in 1903.

Shops were added to the front of the Town Hall in 1923 and Municipal Chambers were constructed on the right-hand side.
