Gunns Crescent in Cashmere – Named after the Scottish clan from which Sir John Cracroft Wilson (1808-1881) descended. Clan Gunn is a Scottish clan associated with north-eastern Scotland. First appears in street directories in 1968.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add to it. There were sections for sale in 1966 and it was called Cashmere Downs subdivision. other ads for the sections called it Cracroft Wilson block. These ads were the main entries on Papers Past. There are 40 houses here and most were built in the 1960s with a few built in 1970s. A couple were more recent builds. There was a big house on a back section that looked interesting but I couldn’t get a good view of it.
