Goode Lane, Adelaide

Goode Lane is one of five pedestrian thoroughfares running east to west through the City of Prospect, South Australia, linking the pedestrian crossing on Prospect Road to Churchill Road and the Ovingham train station. An unnamed path at Goode Lane dates back to mid-19th century. Overlooking the North Adelaide Parklands, it has no non-residential facilities.^[1] It was later (mis-)named after Dr. J(oseph) Ernest Good (1867–1935), a descendant of Surgeon Major Good, medical attendant to the Duke of Wellington.^[2]
