Springbank Street in Bryndwr – Blogg Brothers built “half of the streets in the Wairarapa riding including Kendal Avenue and Springbank Street”. Maurice F. Carter Ltd also built houses there. Carter is listed in street directories of 1962 living in Wairakei Road near its intersection with Springbank Street. First appears in street directories in 1960. Information supplied in 2008 by Bede Cosgriff (d. 2011) and Maurice Carter (d. 2011) in interviews with Margaret Harper.
A small amount of information from the library website. There was nothing on Papers Past about Blogg Brothers building any houses on Springbank Street. In 1958 there were 46 sections offered for sale by Maurice Carter. In 1959 Maurice Carter applied to build a shopping centre at corner of Wairakei Rd and Springbank St. There are 44 houses here and most were built in 1950s. Couldn’t find a reason for the name but possibly a place name in the UK. It is a tree lined street and in many places the tree roots were damaging the footpath. None of the houses stood out but there were some lovely gardens. There is still a shopping centre at the Wairakei Rd end.
Edited to say that I have found out the reason for the name of this street. Springbank was the name of the property where Douglas Graham lived. Grahams Rd is named after Douglas Graham
