Appleby Crescent in Burnside – Named because of the apple trees that once grew on the verges outside the houses. First appears in street directories in 1962 Information supplied in 2007 by Mrs Daisy Greenaway in an interview with Margaret Harper.
A small amount of information from the library website. The rest of the streets in the area are named after places in the UK and I suspect that this street was named after Appleby in the UK. Not much information on Papers Past and there were houses for sale in the 1960s and most of the houses were built in the 1960s. They are mostly brick houses and many have been extended with a second story. Some nice gardens on this street and it is a pleasant tree lined street
