Newport St in Avondale – In a subdivision by Paramount Homes. 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 small amount of information from the library website and the street was probably named after a place in Wales.
All the houses here were built in the 1960 and it looked like a pleasant street. Not much on Papers Past apart from death notices. There were ads in the 1960s for houses.
I did like a quirky garden on this street and sorry but no photos for it. I did have a nice chat with the owner. I also found out from her that they had flooding on the street this week which would put me off from living here.
