Fryers St
History:
Fryers St was named after Fryerstown which took its name from Peter Fryers, an early squatter whose home station occupied the site of that township. It is one of the five streets that comprised the first survey of Shepparton (McGuire's Punt) by JG Wilmot in 1855. (The others were Vaughan, Welsford, Wyndham St and High Sts.) Wilmot, an officer of the Lands Department, had just come from checking surveys in the mining area of Fryerstown and Vaughan on Fryers Creek in the Parish of Wellsford. As miners travelling between there and the new finds in the Ovens Valley crossed the Goulburn River at McGuire's Punt/Shepparton, he apparently thought it appropriate to give these names to some of the streets in the new survey.
