Braemar Place in Avonside and there wasn’t any information on the library website. I will assume that it is named after Braemar in Scotland. I love Braemar in Scotland and I have stayed there.
The houses on this street all date from 1940 so it is surprising that there is nothing on the library website.
Very few entries on Papers Past and I was expecting at least one entry to say that it was part of a State Housing estate but nothing. There also weren’t any ads for the sale of sections. The earliest entry is from 1950 and it was in the court news. A few death notices and engagement notices. There was a mortgagee sale in 1977 and a house for sale in 1988.
There is a footpath on both sides of the street and some of the houses look like they are still State Houses. I didn’t particularly like the street but this was probably because I didn’t feel comfortable walking here. No photos but the houses are typical looking for 1940s State Houses.
