Riccarton Avenue formerly Middle Park Road and Riccarton Road. Named after Riccarton, a village and parish in East Ayrshire, Scotland. Named to continue the theme of naming Riccarton streets after places in Ayrshire, Scotland, from whence the Deans family originated.
A small amount of information from the library website and I have nothing to add.
Goes through the middle of Hagley Park and the Public Hospital is also on this Ave. The Nurses Memorial Chapel has been fully restored and reopened recently. They are still working on the new addition to the hospital.
I actually walked this for my project just over a year ago but I often walk here as I like to go to the Botanic Gardens frequently. I visited the Nurses Memorial Chapel when they were open to the public during Heritage Festival.
I remember being in Edinburgh and seeing buses with Riccarton on them.
