Freeman Street in Mt Pleasant – Named after Frederick Willie Freeman (1881- 1969). Freeman, an engineer, was a long-time Heathcote County Council member and also chairman for five years. Named by the developer, Cannon Estate Ltd. First appears in street directories in 1964
A small amount of information from the library website. Papers Past had a few ads for the sale of sections plus 3 or 4 death notices. I found Frederick Willie Freeman’s obituary and he was a member of the Lyttelton Harbour Board. The obituary also said that building a road tunnel through the hill had been a 50 year dream for him. When I went googling for more information I found the official opening booklet for the road tunnel.
This street only has 6 houses on it mostly built in 1960s and 1970s plus one built in 2018. Seemed like more houses when I walked the street today but a couple of them had addresses on the nearby streets. Considering it is an older street it was surprising that the footpath was on only side of the street. Looked like a pleasant street.
