Harman Street in the suburb of Addington in Christchurch

Decided to start my street walking on December 15th 2018 with my regular route. This street has businesses on one side and houses the other side. A short and not really an interesting street. I didn’t take any photos of this street. The street has a mixture of new and old houses and there is a nice wee park called Cornelius O’Connor Reserve which has a playground for children. One house is very rough looking and overgrown but the owner is a nice person.

Information from the library website -Harman Street – Named after Richard James Strachan Harman (1826-1902).- Harman arrived in Canterbury in 1850 on the Sir George Seymour. He was a member of the Provincial Council and later became deputy superintendent. He was also a civil engineer and estate agent.
