Saunders Place in Redwood – Developed in a subdivision created by the Housing Corporation. Named in 1975. First appears in street directories in 1978.
A tiny amount of information from the library website. The street was probably named after a staff member from Housing Corporation as that was what they frequently did. Papers Past mostly had ads including for the sale of houses. Two articles stood out and one was in 1979 where a man tried to abduct a young girl. The other one was in 1982 where a man tried attacking his wife with an axe.
I didn’t particularly like this street and was surprised to find out that the houses are privately owned. There was a walkway through to the Main North Road.
