Meredith Street in the suburb of Addington in Christchurch

Meredith Street – Probably named after George Meredith (1828- 1909). Meredith was an English novelist and poet. Probably named to continue the theme of “poets and writers” streets of Sydenham, Addington and Waltham. A small amount of information from the library website.

This street is next to Addington Park and has the usual mixture of old and new houses.Not sure that I would like living so close to the park. Since I walked this street as part of my project one of the old houses has been demolished and a new building is going up.
