Location[edit]

Article has coordinates to a small park named Abbotsholme Glen, not to the site that is referenced in the sources as being on Greengate Road and Gordon road. the location is also 12 acres, not a single point which might be nice to show as a polygon.

There is also a photo from "Lane Cove Road" which is apparently what a section of the now Pacific Highway used to be called. https://dictionaryofsydney.org/entry/killara states "Before the coming of the railway, travel was via the Pacific Highway, formerly named Hunters Hill Road, Pennant Hills Road, Gordon Road and Lane Cove Road"

States that "Abbotsholme college was situated on Lane Cove Road (now the Pacific Highway) on both sides of Greengate Road with the original school building on the southern corner of Greengate Road"

"The sports pavilion and sporting fields were on the northern side of Greengate Road behind the Greengate Hotel and continued down to the railway line."

There is also an image of advertising for the auction of land from the former school, although this may include land that was unrelated to the school. 159.196.170.178 (talk) 15:23, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
