Garth Tce in Cashmere – Walkers Valley Road and Walker Terrace. Both Walkers Valley Road and Walker Terrace appear for the first time in street directories in 1928. Re-named Garth Terrace which first appears in street directories in 1950.
A small amount of information from the library website. Very little information on Papers Past. In 1933 under Walker Tce the residents requested that the council plant trees along their road but the council refused because of the number of trees being vandalised in the Cashmere area. The only entry under Walkers Valley Rd was from the egg marketing board. Under Garth Tce in 1966 the storm water drains were being extended.
A very steep and narrow street with 5 houses and one dates from 1930. At least one resident isn’t worried the the new water rates as they were managing to water the road as well as their garden and I got wet. There was one lovely house at the top but my photo didn’t turn out very well and nothing on street view. There is a walkway at the top which takes you to Dyers Pass Rd.
