Tippet Crescent in Wigram and too new for library website. The council website didn’t give a reason for the name of the street. Between Ancestry website and Papers Past I found several people with the Tippet surname who farmed on Middle Lincoln Rd. Middle Lincoln Rd is now Wigram Rd.
The houses here are mostly on only one side of the street as there is a reserve on the other side of the street. The street runs from William Dawson Crescent and then rejoins William Dawson Crescent. About half way along the street there is a walkway that takes you to Kopiko Reserve. The houses here were horrible with a very tiny space in the front. Hope that they have good sound proofing as they are so close to each other. No I didn’t like the street or houses here. I also get grumpy when cars block the footpath.
