Waters Street in Hoon Hay -First appears in street directories in 1957.
A tiny amount of information from the library website. Very little information on Papers Past. Just a few entries in 1950s and they were mostly about ballots for crown land sections. There was mention of sealing of the street in 1955 and the street being in the newly amalgamated area. Most the houses here were built in the 1950s with a couple built in 1970s and 1990s. As most of the other streets in the area are named after judges and lawyers I suspect that this street is also named after a lawyer. I found a lawyer Charles Lawrence Waters who in 1989 was reappointed to the Canterbury Law Society Disciplinary Tribunal and he is described as retired. The cemetery database has his occupation as Director of Social Welfare and he died in February 1998.
The street runs from Mathers Rd to Cedar St and it is near Hoon Hay Park. Most houses are brick houses but a few are wooden. There wasn’t really anything outstanding in the street that jumped out at me.
