Asquith

About

SuburbAsquithTypeSuburbDetailsJust north of Hornsby, Asquith was subdivided by H. Halloran & Co., when the Prime Minister of Britain was Herbert Asquith. Herbert Henry Asquith, 1st Earl of Oxford and Asquith, KG, PC, KC, FRS, generally known as H. H. Asquith, was a British statesman and Liberal politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1908 to 1916.
Other streets named after members of the Cabinet are Winston, Haldane and Baldwin. Besides British politicians, five streets in Asquith were named after flowers.
Asquith occupies an area of 3.47 square kilometres (347 hectares) and within its boundaries there are 39 vehicular roads.
The suburb's claim to fame is the Wrigley Chewing Gum Factory, a model of its kind in Asquith's bushland. It was set up in 1958-60. The site is notable for its overall size, its architecture, engineering and landscape. Its significant features include a globe shaped water tower, which is a landmark that can be seen on the horizon from the railway south of Hornsby.
