Street Spotlight: Castleton Street, Hamilton

Photo Credit: qimagery.information.qld.gov.au

Castleton Street in Hamilton stands as one of Brisbane’s most exclusive residential enclaves, where every property is owner-occupied and residents demonstrate extraordinary commitment to their community. This small but distinguished street of just five houses represents the pinnacle of Brisbane’s riverside living, with homeowners staying an average of 16 years in what many consider one of the city’s most desirable addresses.

The street’s intimate scale fosters a unique sense of community, with 60% of residents having called Castleton Street home for more than a decade. Originally known as Maud Street, the thoroughfare was renamed in 1938 when Brisbane City Council systematically replaced duplicate street names across the city’s suburbs. The transformation of this street reflects Hamilton’s evolution from a riverside suburb to one of Brisbane’s most prestigious residential areas, with property values demonstrating remarkable growth over the decades.

Remembrance: Honouring Sergeant Claud Castleton VC

Castleton Street pays tribute to one of Australia’s most courageous sons, Sergeant Claud Castleton VC, whose selfless heroism during the First World War exemplifies the Anzac spirit. Born in England in 1893, Castleton immigrated to Australia in 1912, embodying the adventurous spirit of many who sought new opportunities in the young nation.

When war broke out, Castleton was prospecting for gold in New Guinea, but immediately answered the call to serve. After initially joining local forces in Port Moresby for communications and coastal defence, he returned to Australia and enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force in March 1915. His unit reached Gallipoli in August, participating in the attack on Hill 60, before he was promoted through the ranks and transferred to the Australian Machine Gun Corps.

On the fateful night of 28 July 1916, during the attack on Pozières Heights in France, Castleton displayed extraordinary courage that would earn him the Victoria Cross. As infantry were driven back by withering machine gun fire and shelling, leaving numerous wounded stranded in no man’s land, Castleton ventured out twice under intense fire to carry back wounded comrades. Tragically, on his third rescue mission, he was struck in the back and killed instantly, aged just 23.

Sergeant Castleton’s posthumous Victoria Cross recognised his “conspicuous bravery” in the face of certain death. He rests in Pozières British Cemetery at Ovillers-la-Boiselle, France, while his Victoria Cross is proudly displayed at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. This street stands as Hamilton’s tribute to a young man who embodied the finest qualities of service, sacrifice, and mateship that define the Anzac legacy.
