Ron Place in Bishopdale – Named after Ronald Hamilton Gee (1913- 1983). Gee was chief health inspector for the Waimairi County County until 1977. For a time it was a policy of the Waimairi County Council to give cul de sacs short names to fit printed maps. Named in 1973.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I add to this information. A few entries on Papers Past for Ronald Gee in connection with his job as a health inspector. Apart from a few death notices most entries on Papers Past for the street were ads for the sale of sections in the 1960s.
I didn’t take any photos here as none of the houses stood out for me. When I walked the street today my first thought was that the houses had to be from the 1960s and I was correct. There is a footpath on both sides of the street which is always great. The houses were typical for the 1960s.
