Twentysecond Street was initially Ann Street, Bassett Town. The street was part of the second release of land blocks in Bassett Town and can be seen on the 1858 Bassett Town Plan. The name Ann was in honour of William Basset's Australian born daughter Ann Bassett (see Bassett William & Family). At some point, the street may have been referred to as Turn-Table Street (likely referring to the railway turn-table), as this name appears but has been crossed out and replaced with 'Ann' on the 1873 Plan for Bassett Town.
Twentysecond Street has several buildings that are either State, Local or Contributory heritage listed, including the original Seventh Day Adventist Church (22 Twentysecond Street) – <click here> to see photographs of all of the heritage buildings.
A heritage photo of 10 Twentysecond Street has been labelled to indicate it was the residence of Mr Miller, butcher, the butcher's horse and part of the cart are visible. A 1929 report in the Bunyip on the Gawler South Council Meeting indicated "Mr. Miller, of 22nd Street, asked for Council's permission to plant a number of trees on the opposite side of road, to his residence; it was decided to bring the matter forward for discussion at a later meeting." [1] This is likely to have been the same person.
