Lindores Street in the suburb of Addington in Christchurch

Lindores Street – formerly St Leonards Street first appears in street directories in 1911. Re-named Lindores Street on 1 September 1948 when 120 street were renamed.

Not much information from the library website. The former name of St Leonards would be from Hastings area in the UK but I will have research Lindores when I get time. This is a small street with mostly older villas. A couple of the villas looked rundown but the rest were OK. Would be noisy with the motorway traffic. Checked out the name Lindores and it is a village in Fife in Scotland. Several people had houses called Linores including one on Braddon St.
