The Streets of Timaru explores the origins and stories that lie behind these street names, as well as the changes that have been made – such as the renaming of three of Timaru’s four William Streets to avoid confusion. Lavishly illustrated with over 250 images, maps and drawings drawn from the South Canterbury Museum’s collections. The book offers numerous insights into Timaru’s history that will appeal to residents, genealogists and historians for many years to come.
