Kevin St in Hoon Hay -Named after Kevin John Blogg. Blogg is the son of Frederick “Fred” Sidney Blogg (1922-2005), the roading contractor who developed the street. First appears in street directories in 1952 as Kelvin Street and appears as Kevin Street in 1953. An error had been made in the paperwork and this was later corrected at the insistence of Fred Blogg. Information supplied in 2008 by Kevin Blogg in an interview with Margaret Harper.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name of the street.
Not much information on Papers Papers. In 1950 it is mentioned as a new street being formed and sections were available in 1953. In 1956 the street Kelvin St in Burwood was renamed Robin St to avoid confusion with Kevin St. Apart from ads there wasn’t anything on Papers Past about Kevin Blogg.
Most houses here were built in 1950s but there were houses built in every decade from 1960s onwards. None of the houses stood out for me but the street is full of road cones. At one end there is an entrance to Hoon Hay Park and on the map from 1958 it is called Hoon Hay Domain.
