Leake Street is a street in the city of Fremantle, Western Australia, located between Market Street and Pakenham Street. It was named after George Leake, the first resident magistrate of Fremantle in 1839. [2]
As a side street, it was neglected early on for road surface improvement. [3]
In the early twentieth century, it was frequently cited as a problematic street with the members of the "Leake Street Push" being seen as disorderly and lawless. [4] [5] [6] [7]
