Ida St in New Brighton – The formation of Ida Street was discussed by the New Brighton Borough Council in 1915. First appears in street directories in 1920.
A small amount of information from the library website. Papers Past had ads for 8 sections for sale in 1887. There were also sections for sale in 1910. Lots of discussion about the metalling of the road in 1915 and it was finally done in 1922. Not a lot of information on Papers Past but an engagement notice in 1948 caught my eye as the surname was Gibb and there is a cottage on this street is called Gibb Cottage. This cottage was built in 1915. There was a cottage built in 1920. The other 7 houses were built between 1950 and 2020. A pleasant street. Edited to say that this street was possibly named after the daughter of Harriet Hawker nee Raines. Harriett had several daughters so why only one daughter gets a street named after them. It is also possible that Harriet had a sister Ida but couldn’t find this information on ancestry.
