Algester |
You might wonder what the Brisbane suburb of Algester has to do with an ancient Roman fort on the English River Alne, but there is a link. As far as its use in this part of the world goes, the naming of the road came first and then the suburb. In the early 1920s, F. S. Brecknell named Algester Road after Alcester Road in Moseley, a Birmingham suburb. That’s where he came from. In its origins, the name of the town Alcester refers to a Roman fort on the River Alne. The suburb then took its name from the road which, by then, was being spelt with a ‘g’ instead of a ‘c’.
