Acacia Avenue in Upper Riccarton and it isn’t on library website yet most houses here were built in 1950s. Most entries on Papers Past were death notices. In 1953 there was a fire on a vacant section and a shed fire in 1955. Sewer connections were done in 1954. In December 1963 there was an open day for the new school Middleton Grange where a memorial stone was laid. In the 1970s all the ads were for a Bible College. Middleton Grange School is still there. There doesn’t seem to be a Bible College any longer but there is something called Redemption Church. Between the church and the school being on this street parking and traffic is horrible. I would hate to live on this street. I thought that I had found an old worker’s cottage on this street but when looking through street view it has only been on this street since about 2012.
Acacia is a tree and if you check out wikipedia the biologists are arguing about which trees belong to this genus. I was also amused when googling Acacia Avenue to find an entry which claims Acacia Avenue is a cliche in British culture to describe an unexceptional middle class suburban street.
