Pembroke St in Avondale – Named in 1955.
A very tiny amount of information from the library website. It is probably named after Pembroke in Wales as other streets in the area are named after places in Wales.
Not a lot of information on Papers Past. A few death notices and a few residents were in accidents. In 1960 the residents complained about the filling in of the land behind their streets which was causing flooding issues. There was flooding on the street in 1989. Most of the houses were built in 1950s but there is an interesting house that was built in 2018. I couldn’t make up my mind if I liked it or not and suspect that it an eco friendly house. There were some nice houses here plus a couple of rundown looking ones. I had walked the red zone part of the street a couple of years ago and walked the full street today after geocaching in the area. The red zone part is near the river at the Avonside Drive end of the street. There is an entrance to Chisnallwood Intermediate on this street near the Breezes Rd end of the street.
