Kia Ora Street in Bexley Red Zone and nothing on library website. When I checked street view I realised that this was an older street as there had been a cute cottage that looked that it dated from 1890s. There were also at least two art deco houses. Papers Past had a few death notes and in 1915 there was a B Keats who owned cows. This area was part of the Heathcote Council but in 1916 they were wanting to be a new borough rather than join the city council. They were still arguing about it in 1917. One of the names that came up frequently was E W Simmons and he seemed to object to everything. He frequently wrote letters to the editor and in 1953 in one of his letters he mentioned that he had lived on the street for 42 years. Ernest William Simmons was a poultry farmer on the street. The street got new kerbs and footpaths in 1957 plus there were sewage works in 1962.
I didn’t actually walk this street as I would have needed gumboots and there are no longer any houses here. The street runs off Pages Road.
