Victors Road in Hoon Hay – First appears in street directories in 1957.
A tiny amount of information from the library website. I couldn’t find out the reason for the name but highly likely that it was named after a person with the name Victor. I checked Ancestry website but didn’t find anything.
Not a huge amount of information on Papers Past. There were sections for sale in 1955 and in the same year the Hoon Hay Domain was developed. The road was reconstructed in 1964. There were several complaints in 1970 about marauding dogs. In 1984 there was a revocation of the reserve in Victors Rd as it was surplus to requirement. The council planned to sell the land for housing. Most houses on the street were built in the 1950s but there were also several built between 1960s and 1990s. There was a large number of death notices for this street.
The street runs from Sparks Rd to Hoon Hay Park and none of the houses stood out for me but it seemed like a pleasant street.
