Summary: Journal 2 "The Witches' Houses of Annandale" focuses on the properties between Rose Street and Weynton Street, known informally as the Witches' Houses, and more formally as the Johnston Street Group. The history of The Abbey, Oybin, Greba and the Witches' Houses - Highroyd, Hockindon and Kenilworth - together with two demolished houses, Roseville and Claremont, the street wall and John Young's Timber Yard is given. To better give life to these properties, we present the stories of four remarkable women - Betty Mason, Bertha Blackmann, Elizabeth Young and Sister Dorothea Flynn - whose lives intertwined with this part of Annandale, together with a short biography of Sir Henry Parkes, who died at Kenilworth. -- Foreward.
