Ayr Street – Named after the town of Ayr in Ayrshire, Scotland. Named to continue the theme of naming streets in Riccarton after places in Ayrshire, Scotland, from whence the Deans family originated. Ayr Street is first mentioned in The Press in 1878. First appears in street directories in 1900.
A small amount of information from the library and nothing that I can add to it.
A pleasant street with a mixture of new and old houses. A couple really stood out especially the fake tudor style houses. I have to go back and look at a property at the Deans Ave end as I could swear that it was a private lane but nothing on-line. Nothing on google maps.
