Ilfracombe Place in Burnside- Named after Ilfracombe in Devon, England. In a subdivision by Maurice F. Carter Ltd. First appears in street directories in 1966. Information supplied in 2008 by Maurice Carter (d. 2011) in an interview with Margaret Harper.
A small amount of information from the library website. The houses date from 1960s and have the typical Maurice Carter look about them even the ones that have been modernised. A pleasant tree lined street with nice gardens. There was one unkempt looking garden and it was a property that was for sale. I really shouldn’t mock unkempt gardens as my garden isn’t the tidiest. This street runs off Arlington St and Ilfracombe in the UK isn’t that far away from Arlington in the UK. There was practically no information on Papers Past apart from a couple of ads for selling a house in 1968. It was possibly part of the Maurice Carter Memorial Ave subdivision but no mention in Papers Past.
