Kete Horowhenua2020-03-23T16:50:35+00:00What are levin Streets named after? - This topic tries to answer. It will grow over time ... perhaps YOU have some information you want to include here...? Fortunately the origins of Levin Street names was researched around the year 2000 by David Harris and published in the Weekend Chronicle. These articles have been scanned and included here.

In addition we want to try to document the old streets - the first to be documented here is Stuckey Street - photographed by a young contributor to Kete in 2007.
Victoria Street runs into the Show Grounds from Weraroa Road and has some nice houses - we photographed the street in May 2007.
