Dickens Street in the suburb of Addington in Christchurch

Dickens Street – formerly Charles Dickens Street – Named after Charles Dickens (1812-1870). Dickens was an English author. One of the “poets and writers” streets of Sydenham, Addington and Waltham. A small amount of information from the library website.

A few businesses at Lincoln Rd end and houses and flats at the other end. The houses are a mixture of new and old buildings. Most are in reasonable condition. A wee reserve on the street which sometimes has down and outs loitering in it.. Thought I had a photo of the Dickens plaque but couldn’t find it. I do go to the Coffee Culture occasionally but never go to the Burger King.
