Lingard Street in St Albans – Named after Archdeacon Edward Atherton Lingard (1839-1903). Lingard was a schoolmaster and later vicar of St. Luke’s Anglican Church 1867-1902. The street was formed on land formerly owned by the Anglican diocese. Described as a “new” street in The Press in 1926 when the Church Property Trustees advertises sections for sale in their St Albans West subdivision. First appears in street directories in 1928.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website. Not much information on Papers Past. The article in 1926 said that the road was formed as part of the extension of Chapter St. In 1929 there were sections for sale. A few death notices and ads plus in the 1950s and 1960s best street competitions were mentioned.
This was a short street that I walked on Tuesday afternoon and half of the houses were built in 1920 and 1930s. A couple of ugly modern houses on the street.
