Alderley is a northern suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, Alderley had a population of 6,748 people.

Geography

Alderley is 7 kilometres (4 mi) north-west of the Brisbane CBD. It is surrounded by Newmarket in the south, Ashgrove and Enoggera in the west, Grange and Stafford in the east and Kedron and Everton Park in the north. At the 2006 census, it had a population of 5,068.

History

Newmarket Brickworks Chimney, 2015

The area is the traditional lands of the Turrbal clan of the Mianjin Australian Aboriginal people, who lived there long before British settlement. Corroborees were held at Sedgeley Park estate.

The name Alderley derives from Alderley Edge in Cheshire, England. Alderley is an older suburb, having had a post office since 1878 and a railway station since 1899.

On 19 April 1890, auctioneers G. T. Bell offered 296 residential lots (mostly 16 perches) in Alderley Park Estate on Hall Street, Alderley Street and Wakefield Street with South Pine Road to the west. The estate was diagonally opposite the Alderley Arms Hotel. At the time of sale, the Ferny Grove railway line had not yet been built however the proposed railway route line is marked on the land sale advertisement. Hall Street now terminates at the Alderley railway station instead of continuing through to South Pine Road as it was in 1890. At the auction, only 51 of the 296 lots were sold for an average price of £28/8/8 for a total of £1450.

On 14 March 1914, auctioneers Isles, Love & Co offered 86 residential lots (mostly 16 perches) in the Green Hills Estate bounded by Lloyd Street to the north, Cole Street to the east and both sides of Elfreda Street.
