According to the Gosford City Council website, the Gosford Times was started to promote the subdivision of land in the area. 'A beautifully illustrated and informative (if long-winded) prospectus was produced in 1885, with engravings based on photographs by noted photographer Charles Bayliss. The prospectus shows the wharf area, the building of the Punt Bridge, shipbuilding on Erina Creek and other local scenes.'
