Sharlick St in the red zone of Avondale – Named after Martin Sharlick (1866-1944). Sharlick was a farmer of Marshland Road. He worked with Reginald Gordon Vivian Muirson (1913-1990), a builder. First appears in street directories in 1960. Information researched during the 1970s by Guy Bliss, a teacher and local historian.
A small amount of information from the library website and I am not sure that all of the information is correct but I could be wrong. Martin Sharlick was a farmer and would have been in his late 60s when Reg Muirson was starting out in business. Martin Sharlick’s grandson was a carpenter and he also lived at 10 Sharlick St. Their real surname was Szaluga and the ancestry website family trees give a couple of place for his birth. Either Prussia or Bavaria and as Prussia was in the north I think that this is more likely. Not a lot of information on Papers Past apart from houses for sale in the 1960s.
Street view from 2007 shows an ordinary looking street and street view from 2012 show that only a couple of houses were looking as if they were occupied. There was one very sad house which was obviously in line to be demolished and the owner had written on the front of the house Please be gentle as it was once a home. I took a screenshot of this. Obviously there are no longer any houses here.
