162 years ago 11 September 1863, notorious bushranger Frederick Wordsworth Ward aka "Captain Thunderbolt" and another inmate (Fred Britten) escaped from the supposedly escape-proof Cockatoo Island Goal by swimming to the mainland at Balmain where his girlfriend, Mary-Anne Bugg was waiting. Britten drowned, but Mary was right there on the shore waiting for Fred Ward, along with a fast, white horse right beside where the Dawn Fraser Pool is today. Fred and Mary got away, and galloped off into the sunrise.

The street was named 'White Horse Street' for many years before being shortened to White Street. Fred Ward had a reputation as the "gentleman bushranger" and his lengthy survival, being the longest roaming bushranger in Australian history.
