Minsons Lane in Kennedys Bush – the subdivision is bounded on two sides by Minsons Drain. These drains run into the Halswell River and then Lake Ellesmere.
A small amount of information from the council minutes. The valuation website says that there will be 11 sections here and 3 houses are being built. I had a chat with the builders here. I checked the ancestry website for the Minson family but they lived in Opawa. Anyone here old enough to remember the Minsons Stores. I found a map which had Minsons Drain on it and it wasn’t anywhere near this subdivision.

Yes yes! Remember cutting through Minsons and all the shelves would rattle. Was it a fine China crockery & crystal store?

I remember it as selling fine china items and walking through the shop very carefully
