History of Ohaupo Road.Glenview
Hi Members.I thought that this story might be of interest to any one more so the older people.In 1957 i bought a section from Mr Split's new sub division. He lived in the white farm house on the hill . I remember him saying to me about the one i were looking at. It is a full quarter acre section and the price is six hundred and sixty four pounds. I bought it on the spot. Bruce Mills of what was Lugton & Mills real estate. Bruce who i knew very well said to me why did you buy a section out in the Wop What's place. It is miles out of Hamilton.How very true.With me been a builder, Joinery and Carpentry . In 1958 i designed and built our house. We had a very good view's of every where from our bedroom window. It was 199. Ohaupo Road. We did not have any water but did have a septic tank we were in the Waipa District . On the hill not far past Splits house they started to bore for water and found it 123 feet below the surface.That was just fine for the people living on the flat sections they got some water. But not for us on the high ground . If those on the low ground were running their water we did not get enough to flush our toilet or make as cup of teas. How ever when we became part of Hamilton City things changed with plenty of water . Last week i got a shock when i saw our old family house of 60 years since i built it been demolished in the name of progress and leaving my family and i with lots of happy memories when it was our family home for about 10 years. Ohaupo Road was going to be made in to a 3 or 4 lane road, That is why there is the side lane now.For when the Queen Mother visited Hamilton. It was started but did not continued with it . The Queen Mother Bless her on her way to Hamilton stopped out side the Melville Primary School. What a thrill is was for the children to see our Queen Mother. Hope some people find this found this interesting History of Ohaupo Road .Like i do.
