Slideshow: Rebel Hill
Description
Rebel Hill, a small but steep hill on Braddock Road near Wakefield Chapel Road, challenged drivers, especially in bad weather, until tamed by highway engineers in the early 1970s. A good replica of the original road exists in the bike and footpath on the north side of Braddock Road, which the slideshow traces in a series of 10 captioned pictures.
NOTE: Although the second slide caption dates the highway construction in the 1960s, later research places it between March 1970 and March 1972.
