Vintners Lane in Woolston – Named because the German couple who owned the property for many years grew grapes in glasshouses on the property. The development company, Opawa Residential Ltd, wanted to recognise this in the name of the right-of way, developed at 83 & 85 Mackenzie Avenue. Named in 2007.
A small amount of information from the library website. I thoroughly searched Papers Past and ancestry website but couldn’t find out the name of the German couple. The property was sold in 1966 as part of a deceased estate and in 1988 someone living at the property was a bankrupt.
The valuation website said that there were 4 houses here built in 2000 and 2010 but there were at least two more houses than this. The later ones were built in 2021. Not a lot that I can say about the street as nothing stood out for me.
