Jack Hinton Drive – Named after John Daniel “Jack” Hinton (1909- 1997) – Hinton served in the Middle East and in Greece during World War II and won the Victoria Cross. Rugby league identity Bill Whitehead suggested the street name. The street goes past what was Rugby League Park and Addington Park of which Hinton was a member. He regularly came to rugby league night at the trots and had also played league with Mr Whitehead’s late father. Named in 1997.
A lot of information on the library website for this street. At the Whiteleigh Ave end there are new looking townhouses. The rest is Horncastle Arena and the sports stadium. Also Addington Raceway is here as well. A busy place when there is an event or game on.For the locals the photo needs no explaining.
