Turner Street
Turner Street was named after Mr. William Turner,
the first manager of Hellidon Run (now spelt Helidon).
A Sydney based merchant, Mr Richard Jones,
selected the Run in the early 1840's.
William Turner was sworn in as a magistrate in
1858, when the Commission of Peace was introduced.
Before the first high bridge over Lockyer Creek was opened
in December 1956, Turner Street was part of the Warrego Highway, connecting Brisbane to Toowoomba and the west.
