Jarrow Place in Halswell – Probably named after Jarrow, a town in the north-east of England. In the Oaklands subdivision. First appears in street directories in 1968.
A tiny amount of in information from the library website and the new library website says Probably named after Jarrow, a town in the county of Tyne and Wear in the north‐east of England.
The developer might have been a Catherine Cookson fan but I doubt it.
Very little information on Papers Past. In 1962 the water mains and services were connected. A few ads and a couple of death notices.
It is a small street with a back entrance to Oaklands School. Most of the houses were built in the 1960s and the school gate had the years 1964 to 2014 on them. None of the houses stood out for me and I imagine that parking here would be a nightmare at the beginning and end of the school day.
