Viscount Place in the red zone in Burwood – Named after the Viscount, a type of aeroplane. The name continues the aviation theme of street names in the area. First appears in street directories in 1972.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name. Looking at street view from 2007 the houses looked typical 1970s style. There was a house on the corner of Viscount Place and Kingsford St that had a lovely garden. I liked the house as well but it has obviously been demolished along with the rest of the houses.
