Hamish Place in Westmorland – First appears in street directories in 1993. A tiny amount of information from the library website and it is obviously named after a person but I couldn’t find out who they were. Because it is close to Francis Reserve I attempted to research the Francis family. Spent quite a bit of time on Papers Past. The brothers W J and B J Francis both owned land in the area. B G Francis was farming the property that originally belonged to Cracroft Wilson. The brothers in 1973 purchased Worsley Spur from a Mr Flemming and they said that it was originally from the estate of their father who had died 14 years earlier. Nothing on ancestry website for them and I couldn’t find out what W J or B G stood for.
This was a tiny street with a footpath on only one side of it and nothing stood out for me. The houses were all built in 1990s. If you walk the track behind the houses you get a good view of their backyards.
