Marama Crescent in Mt Pleasant and nothing on the library website. I was surprised that there wasn’t any information on the library website as there is one house from 1930 and many from the 1940s and 1950s. Papers Past had a bit of information about the street. There were a couple of death notices in 1949 and 1950 plus an ad for a lost item in 1948. Several ads for the sale of sections in 1950 which included this street. In an article in 1989 about the Cannon Estate and that the land was purchased in by a development group in 1956. Sections were available in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. A bach was destroyed by fire in 1959 and this area probably had several baches. I was surprised to come across a name that I knew and it was Fred Sutton. I had always assumed that he lived in Lyttelton but he lived on this street in Mt Pleasant. In the early 1960s he was applying for his real estate agent license.
There are some lovely houses on this street but beyond my budget. One side of the street had the newer houses and they are all rebuilds after the earthquakes. It was a couple of houses from the 1950s that I liked. Great views from this street.
