26.04.2022 "He Was Only 19" When master builder George Coates, one of the oldest surviving members of the old Parramatta Borough Council and the head of one of the best-known Parramatta families, passed away at Bellview, his George Street residence in Parramatta, aged 88, on 3 April 1912, in his last will and testament he bequeathed St George's Terrace, Parramatta to his grandchildren, siblings Ronald and Caryl. But while St. George’s Terrace should have been Ron’s place, it was never... to be. On 8 August 1915, not long before he would have come into considerable property [St. George’s Terrace] left him by his grandfather, Ronald was killed in action at Lone Pine, Gallipoli. The Roll of Honor, which includes Ronald's name, was inscribed on the Royal Memorial Gates in front of St. John’s Church, Centenary Square, Parramatta. The Royal Memorial Gates were dedicated and unveiled in 1918 in a most impressive, imposing ceremony by the Governor-General in the presence of thousands of spectators, including relatives and friends of those who served. (If you zoom in close to the left hand-column of the picture of the Roll of Honor, you can see "R. COATES ").

03.01.2022 A much-loved, historic home in the heart of Parramatta looks set to be bulldozed, as the Premier refused to confirm it's demolition - but her refusal to comment said it all. #9News | http://9News.com.au
