Newland St in Hoon Hay – First appears in street directories in 1957.
A tiny amount of information from the library website and I couldn’t find out how it got it’s name. It was possibly named after a place in the UK but equally it looked like a surname. I checked Ancestry website and couldn’t find anyone with that surname living in the area. Not much information on Papers Past and in 1955 it was described as Crown Land being subdivided. There where flooding issues in 1957 and there was a drain nearby called Ballantines Drain. Only 22 houses here and most were built in 1950 but there were a few brick houses from 1990s.
Nothing outstanding here and I didn’t take any photos.
