Parlane Street in the suburb of Addington in Christchurch

Parlane Street – formerly Clifton Street – Named after Edward Parlane (1874-1959). Re-named Parlane Street on 1 September 1948 when 120 streets were re-named. Parlane was a Christchurch city councillor 1929-1933 and 1935-1941. He was also active in Addington local body affairs. A small amount of information on the library website.

I don’t normally walk down this street and it is the usual mixture of new and old houses that normal for Addington. A boring little street with nothing interesting on it. There have been a couple of nice villas that have been done up. Addington is one of the oldest suburbs in Christchurch.
