Emily Knowles Drive in Hoon Hay – this is a brand new street without any houses yet. Found information in the council minutes. Emily Knowles was a school teacher and suffragist, she arrived in Lyttelton with her husband Henry Hill in 1873. Throughout her life, Emily held executive positions in various organisations promoting social welfare and the interests of women and children.
The website teara.govt.nz has a full biography for Emily Knowles. Emily married Henry Thomas Hill in July 1873 and they then came to New Zealand on the ship Merope. They were both teachers in Christchurch until 1878. In 1878 they moved to Napier and Emily gave up teaching and became very active in the suffragette movement. Emily died in August 1930 and her husband died in 1933.
Going by the map that I found in the council minutes there are further streets planned for this subdivision which is called Cashmere Park.
