Rosella Street in Broomfield – First appears in street directories in 1964. A tiny amount of information from the library website. The street could be named after a parrot, a plant or a racehorse but couldn’t find information online. Papers Past only had a couple of entries. A death notice in 1963 and information about sewers to be connected in 1964.
The street runs between Masham Rd and Steadman Rd and there is the Rosella Reserve and playground at the Masham Rd end. Most houses were built in 1960s and the only thing that stood out for me was an interesting gate. Most houses were neat and tidy with nice gardens. There was one untidy place but the owner had obvious mobility issues.
