Lynn Place in Mairehau – formerly Lynn Street. Developed on farmland previously owned by Arthur William Emmett (d. 1948) and sold after his death. Part of the land was bought by the government for a state housing area “laid out on modern town planning lines”. It was referred to as Emmetts Block. Lynn Street was named on 24 June 1948. First appears in street directories in 1953
A small amount of information from the library website. The only entries on Papers past were a few ads.
Only 6 houses here and 4 of them are State houses. Most built in 1950 but two were built in 2023. These were built on a section where a house had been demolished after the earthquakes.
