Kennedy Place in Hillsborough – formerly Kennedy Crescent. Kennedy Crescent first appears in street directories 1955. The southern section was re-named Kennedy Place and the central unformed section was “stopped” on 24 April 1963. The northern section became part of Grange Street. Jarden Place was originally suggested as a name for the northern section. Information on date of naming of Kennedy Place in a letter sent to the City Librarian from the Town Clerk dated 29 April 1963.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website. Most information on Papers Past were ads about a woolstore and it was a new woolstore in 1966. There was a few death notices and in 1956 a big area behind this street was set aside for heavy industry.
I was surprised to find residential houses on this street. I wish that I had managed to get a photo of the 1910 house and it had a lovely garden. There was a couple of houses from 1950. The rest of street was industrial plus there was a school here. The school is in a building that used to be Smiths City building. I had to google Mastery School as I didn’t realise that it was an educational school. It is a school for kids that don’t fit into mainstream schools. The Jurassic mini golf is on the corner of this street and Opawa Rd
