Emlyn Place in Avondale – In a Paramount Homes subdivision. Named on 15 June 1960.Information on date of naming in a letter sent to the City Librarian from the Town Clerk dated 20 June 1960.
A tiny amount of information from the library website. The street is mostly likely named after a place in Wales as many of the nearby street are named after Welsh place names.
Not a lot of information on Papers Past. A few death notices and in 1960 it was described as a new street and there were houses for sale in 1962. In1968 equipment was purchased the playground in the street. Many entries in Papers Past concerned a man who was charged with attempting to murder a policeman. This was in 1964.
Most houses here were built in the 1960s and it looked like a pleasant street. Very neat and tidy looking street. There is a back entrance to Chisnallwood Intermediate school at the end of the street. I had been geocaching nearby today.
