Kershaw Place in Richmond – Developed in a subdivision of the Flesher’s block, Richmond. First mentioned in The Press in 1944. First appears in street directories in 1946.
A tiny amount of information from the library website. Not much information in Papers Past and it was mostly death notices. This area was developed in 1940s for Housing dept and the houses here are all built in typical State Housing styles. I suspect that the street was named after Mark Kershaw a city councillor who died in 1943. Mark Kershaw lived in the Linwood area and was active in the community. He was a district health inspector until his retirement in 1935 and became a city councillor in 1941.
A nice and tidy street that runs off Flesher Ave.
