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

[Janette]

I posted a photo above of the house I suspect it the right one

Umm, can't actually see anything Janette.  Is it hiding somewhere?

[Janette]

It is at #59

It is classed as a bungalow styled house which was right for the time you are looking at

Oh I see!  I thought you meant that you had just posted a photo.  You were in fact referring to an earlier post on which you had put a photo.

It certainly isn't the one I was looking at then.

Google street view is quite good in its way but it's not the same as actually being in the street where you can get up closer to the property in question.

Off to bed now, catch up with everyone again later today.

Hi Girl Guide,

All is now very clear......

Have confirmed through the Land Transfer records that:

No. 25 Tahi Terrace definitely sits on Lot 25.

In 2005, the property passed out of the hands of the people who purchased it in 1993. There have been other owners since then.

That confirmed, I will visit with my camera, the next time I'm up at Glendene visiting my relative. Possibly in two weeks time. When I have photos I will email them direct to you.

Bye for now.

Alan.

Hi Minnie & Alan

That's good to hear.  That would suggest that the council followed the plot numbers when numbering the houses.  If I recall correctly there were 37 plots so there should be houses numbered from 1 to 37.

Just checked the plots map again - 1 to 4 front on to Croydon Road which is now Rua Road, then 5 to 37 go consecutively up one side and down the other of Liverpool Street now Tahi Terrace.

I shall look forward to receiving the photo in due course Alan.  Many thanks for taking the trouble to take a photo for me.

Hi Girl Guide,

No,the council didn't follow the plot numbers at all it is just a coincidence that number 25 fell on lot 25,if you look on Google Map looking down Tahi Terrace from Rua Road the even numbers are on the left hand side and the odd numbers are on the right hand side most NZ streets are numbered in this way,another odd colonial idea

Okay fair enough Janette.

As I was saying earlier, Google street view is good in its way but you really need to be physically on the street to be quite sure of what you are looking at.

Long distance research is not the easiest of tasks!  However I am really grateful for all the help everyone has been giving me.  I would never have found out so much without your help.
