Glue Pl – Named after William Percy Glue (1888-1980). A tiny amount of information from the library website. I get my library information from the section about place names. If you google Glue Bros there is more information about William Glue and this is also on the library website but in a different section. William was a building contractor with his brother Walter and he invented a hollowwall concrete system. The ancestry website has him buried at Woodlawn Memorial Gardens and Christchurch Crematorium. Note that was the wording on the ancestry website and I would assume it is his ashes there. Mervyn Glue was his son for those who remember Mervyn’s acting.
I couldn’t find any information about the houses here except that they are social housing owned by the council. I don’t know the age of the buildings but they have a 1960s or 1980s look about them. I didn’t walk this street as I didn’t feel comfortable doing this. This street is off Lyttelton Street near Pioneer Stadium.
