A reasonable of information from the library website. This street would have been part of the Witbrock Park subdivision and runs off Witbrock Crescent. Only 9 properties here and 6 were built in 1970s and 3 in 1980s. Looked like a pleasant street but only had a footpath on one side of the street and we all know how much this annoys me. The houses built in 1970s had a footpath but the side with no footpath had the 1980s houses.
