Chaston Close in Westmorland – Probably named after Jack Chaston. Chaston is listed in the 1970 telephone directory living at 255 Cashmere Road. The street was named after “a Mr J. Chaston, one of the early residents of Westmorland”. Developed on the Worsley Farm subdivision. Named in 2006.
A small amount of information on the library website. In 1976 Jack Chaston applied to subdivide land at 247 Cashmere Rd. In 1961 he was living on Purau Tce when he applied for a land agents licence. In 1972 he was director of Cashmere Nursery. He died in 2015 aged aged 95 and his death notice doesn’t mention any wives but he probably married three times.
Only three houses on this tiny street which were built in 1990 but looks like more houses are being built. I didn’t actually walk it as there wasn’t a footpath. The entrance is very close Cambrian Close and I just took the one photo for both streets.
