Newtown

This guide to Newtown in Sydney tells the story of Eliza Emily Donnithorne, who lived at Cambridge Hall on King Street and was left waiting in her wedding dress when her groom never arrived. It follows the decades she spent shut away inside the house afterward, and the question of how her story became tangled with Charles Dickens's Miss Havisham. Listen for how a single unanswered door came to define a whole neighborhood's legend.
