Braddon Street – formerly known as Hyde Garden Street – Probably named after Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1837?- 1915) – Hyde Garden Street is first mentioned in the Star in 1878. Made a public street from 1 January 1888. Re-named Braddon Street in 1889. Braddon was the author of Lady Audley’s Secret, published in 1862 – I was amused to see that the council website added the information
about the book Lady Audley’s Secret after I hid a nearby cache with the same name. This street is mostly fairly new houses .with about 3 or 4 old houses. One end of the street has businesses on it. There is an entrance to the Addington Cemetery from this street and there is also a small reserve here.
