Kim Place in Dallington Red Zone – Named after Kim Novak (1933-).Kim Novak was one of America’s most popular movie stars in the late 1950s. One of two streets named by Harry Morgan, a draughtsman with the Ministry of Works. First appears in street directories in 1957. Information supplied in 2005 by Bob Pritchard, subdivisions officer, Christchurch City Council.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name of the street.
Not much information on Papers Past as it was just a few ads and a few death Notices.
I couldn’t find out what the street looked like before the earthquakes as google maps no longer show these images. This must be a fairly recent change as I was able to do this in 2023.
