Getting confused over Liverpool Road/Street, Auckland - Can you help?

[Girl Guide]

Walter England wrote a letter to my mother in 1937 and gave his address as Liverpool ROAD, Glen Eden, Auckland.

I have some copies of electoral rolls and in 1935, 1938 and 1949 the address is given as Liverpool  ROAD.  In 1946 the address is Liverpool STREET.

I am trying to find out exactly which number in Liverpool Road/Street Walter lived in.

I wrote to Digital NZ about a photo of the road.  I was informed that.... I did a quick search and I was unable to find a “Liverpool Road” in Auckland, only a “Liverpool Street” which is in the centre of Auckland city.

I am now totally confused over this!  Where did he live, ROAD or STREET?

Hello.

Sorry I'm not an Aucklander but I've found this Auckland Library history of street names helpful in the past.

All the best,

Alan.

OOP's link does not appear to work so will add another and if it does not work just Google AUCKLAND CITY STREET NAMES

http://www.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/EN/heritage/localhistory/aucklandstreets/Pages/aucklandstreets.aspx

And WEST AUCKLAND / Waitakere street name history.

Hello Girl Guide, we meet again 

I am not able to identify the exact position of the road but the following shows it did exist in 1935 in Glen Eden........

It was still there in 1945.....

A suggestion, you could contact Auckland Council Archives to find the new name of Liverpool Road....

Let Google be your friend 

Liverpool Street - Glen Eden. Named before 1961, for local Liverpool emigrants, it was renamed Tahi Terrace from February 1969.

Tahi Terrace runs off Rua Road,in Maori Tahi is one and Rua is two

Confusing when the Council records show "street" instead of "road"

There is a Liverpool Street in the central city as well as one in Epsom just to add to the confusion

Cheers Janette

Hi Minnie & Janette

You can see why I'm confused now can't you!  Why give an address of Liverpool Road if it doesn't exist?  The council seems to think there was only a Street.

Is there any kind of directory that could be checked for Liverpool Road and its inhabitants?

I'm sure a Rootschatter will be able to look up the Electoral Rolls for you.........
