**Clifton Gardens** is an urban locality in the suburb of [|Mosman] in Sydney, New South Wales. Clifton Gardens is located in the [|Lower North Shore] and features an affluent residential area; it is also home to several beaches and wharves on [|Sydney Harbour].

"A prominent and picturesquely sited area of open space, well used by both local residents and more distant visitors, whose history traces back to the days of the popular pleasure-grounds which then dotted the shores of Sydney Harbour.
 * The Clifton Gardens Reserve is a significant area of open space, picturesquely located, but much of the charm evident in photos of bygone days has been lost due to the demolition of pool, pavilion & hotel."
 * "This place is just perfect. A harbourside beach reserve looking out to Chowder Bay that is dog friendly, has lots of open space, enclosed bathing area, a wharf that's popular for fishing, great picnic areas, brand new toilets and a fab playground to boot."

Clifton Pleasure Gardens
A hotel called the Clifton Arms was built in 1871 by D. Butters. It was leased in 1879 then bought in 1880 by David Thompson. Thompson also built a wharf and dancing pavilion here and the area became popular as a picnic spot. [|[1]] Before First World War, ferries full of picnickers came at weekends. The Hotel burnt down in 1956, [|[2]] and was demolished on 17 November 1967

Smith and Cabban
Mayor W H Smith, was an English-born builder and developer who, with his partner S H Cabban, had obtained the contract to build Mosman's public school.
 * Smith went on to build several cottages in Muston Street, to develop the Frascati Estate in Middle Head Road and 50 acres of the Silex Estate, which he subdivided as the //Bradleys Head Estate//.
 * Smith was a developer cast in the Harnett (ex-Mayor, Mosman developer) mould. He served continuously on Mosman Council for a quarter of a century, from 1901 to 1925, and was Mayor for five annual terms.
 * The success of these ventures was encouraging and they continued to develop purchasing a large portion of the Silex Estate and building around 170 houses in Bradley’s Head Road and Prince Albert Street, Mosman.
