Maurice Knowles Lane in Cashmere – Named after Maurice William Knowles (1918- 2004). The property had been owned by the Knowles family for over eighty years before being subdivided by James Lloyd Developments Ltd. A member of the family asked that the street be named after her father to recognise his long association with the property. Maurice Knowles lived at 52 Bowenvale Avenue during the 1990s. Named in 2005.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website. The electoral rolls actually show Maurice Knowles living at 52 Bowenvale Ave from the 1960s to early 2000 and not just in the 1990s. It isn’t often that I find a street named after someone that I had met. My older son when he was a teenager did weekend work for Maurice. Most the houses on the street were built in the late 2000s.
