Kidson Tce in Cashmere – Named after Charles Kidson (1867-1908). Kidson was an art teacher, artist, craftsman and sculptor and lived in the Dyers Pass Road locality. First mentioned in The Press in 1911 when sections are advertised for sale there. First appears in street directories in 1912.
A small amount of information from the library website. Not as much information on Papers Past as I was expecting. There were sections for sale between 1911 and 1919 and then again in 1961. In 1959 Mrs W Patchett applied for permission to subdivide another block of land on Kidson Tce. In 1929 residents wanted something done about the road. A few articles about the corner of Kidson Tce and Dyers Pass Rd being dangerous. I actually walked this street in August 2020 and there are some great views here. The oldest house is from 1905 plus a few from 1910s and 1920s but most houses were built between 1960s to 1990s. There were some lovely and some interesting houses here.
