Pinehurst Crescent in Russley and another street that isn’t on the library website. Most houses were built in the 1960s with a few built in 1990s. Papers Past had several ads in 1960 for the sale of sections in the Paramont subdivision. A few death notices plus a couple of engagement notices. In the 1960s there were a few accidents involving the residents on this street. The Plunket rooms are mentioned from about 1965 onwards. In 1976 there was a plan for a kindergarten on this street but I didn’t see a kindergarten when I was walking here today. The Plunket rooms are still there. I was in this area a few months ago geocaching and there was a reserve here with a path that led to Russley School. It was a pleasant wee reserve with a playground. Today the reserve is blocked off with big fences and looks a mess. Going by the sign the school is extending into the reserve. The houses are typical 1960s houses and nothing stood out for me except for how rundown the street was looking. When I looked at google street view it showed the street in September 2022 and it was looking like a nice and tidy street. Must be another group of water rate protesters on this street. I am not sure how successful their protest is as I just got the feeling that I wouldn’t like to live here and wouldn’t buy in this street.
