By: Jacquie Tomlins25th Aug 2024 8:23PMThis is fantastic. I lived in Otira when I was 10yrs from 1978 to 1980 but never knew which house. But knew we lived next to the Goodmans (I had a crush on one of the sons at school & Fred Cunningham :-)) and now I know it was house 555 (Arthur & Ruth Spiers).

Jack Wilson plenty of Otira names from your time up there

My Grandad and Nana, Len and Emilie Williams lived in #547 ( if I am reading it right?) my mum Theodora, sister Maisie and brother Harry. I remember going with mum to a centenary? maybe 60’s or 70’s and looking around the streets .

Delwyn Hughes Their names are at the bottom of the list of 1920s and 30s names where no house could be confirmed. When I was compiling the original list about 10 years ago, somebody must have told me that they lived on the railway side of the street, up from the fire bell, in either #554 or 555. They appear to have lived in Otira from about 1925 to about 1940.

Very interesting, was there 68,69 & 70. Going through the names, brought back a lot of good memories.

This is the first time I have been able to see where my parents lived in Otira. Great work. I have photos of them sitting in front of the house but never knew where it was.
