An aerial photograph of the Estate dated 1937 provides valuable information regarding the landscape development of both sides of Darley Road. The location of the driveways is clearly evident.<\/p>\n
There are four secondary paths which focus on the Archbishop\u2019s Residence.\u00a0 The first path leads directly from a gate in the Darley Road wall to the Residence.\u00a0 Another path now known as the Archbishop\u2019s Walk, leads from the Residence down to Spring Cove.\u00a0 This path was used to access the terraced gardens, with orchards, vegetable gardens and flower beds, and to the lower parts of the site and the Harbour foreshore.\u00a0 The path was constructed over the first and second terrace areas and linked to the terraced garden areas and became an informal track through the lowest terrace to the Harbour foreshore.<\/p>\n
It is likely that the decline of the gridded pattern of the land below the Residence accompanied the abandonment of the path as an access to the Harbour foreshore and wharf, previously having been the only link to transport to St\u00a0Patrick\u2019s Estate.\u00a0 All that remains of this path are sets of stone steps below the former Gilroy House, sets of stone steps below the Archbishop\u2019s Residence, stone steps on Spring Cove and a depression in the ground adjacent St Paul\u2019s Catholic College tennis courts.<\/p>\n
Another path led east from the Residence and culminated at the stone boundary wall. \u00a0Two large figs flanked the path at its termination. \u00a0The construction of St Paul\u2019s Catholic College removed this path. \u00a0The figs are still in place. \u00a0The fourth path branched off the entrance driveway to the Residence and ran down the site parallel and close to the western boundary providing some vehicular access to the terraced gardens below the Residence. \u00a0A major portion of this path remains evident on the site. \u00a0A section of the pathway runs parallel to the remnant dry stone wall north of Gilroy House. \u00a0Little remains of the secondary access routes on the northern side of Darley Road. \u00a0The \u2018Long Walk\u2019 roadway from the College to the north east portion of the site, evident on the 1937 aerial photograph, exists as a track through the re-growth (with grass and fill having reclaimed the quarry and tennis courts).<\/p>\n
