Heathpool is a residential suburb of Adelaide, Australia, east of the city, in the City of Norwood Payneham St Peters.

History

[edit]

It was one of three large properties in the Marryatville area, and named by early settler George Reed, after his home in Hethpool, Northumberland.[2][3]

The house at 11 Northumberland Avenue was owned by Henry Woodhouse Crompton for many years.[4]
