Rollesby St in Hoon Hay – Named after Rollesby, a village and parish in Norfolk, England. Edmund Henry Ensor (1840-1884) emigrated from Rollesby to Lyttelton in 1860. The street was formed on land which had been farmed by his descendants from 1911. Named on 29 March 1956. First appears in street directories in 1964.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name of the street. I will research Edmund Henry Ensor when I walk Ensors Road. Not a lot of information on Papers Past and it was mostly death notices. It was described as a new street in 1956.
All houses were built in 1960s apart from one built in 2022. None of the houses stood out for me but did have a nice chat with a local.
