Hazeldean Road – First mentioned in the Star in 1873. First appears in street directories in 1878. Not much information from the library website.This is a street in the industrial area of Addington and most of the businesses seem to be connected to the auto industry.
A small amount of information on the library website, With further research on Papers Past the first mention is in 1873 when someone was fined for having cows on the road.Lots of ads for sale of land and cottages in 1870s and 1880s. In 1875 it was requested that the council look at a footpath for the road. In 1878 a woman was charged with keeping a low brothel. This amused me as I now want to know if there are high brothels. In 1879 there were three ads from a A H Harts of Hazeldean Cottage. In 1900 there was an article about an Engineers Band Room on this street. A big article in 1937 about land needed for new railway station and that all the houses on Hazeldean Road will be demolished. The houses were described as being red brick terraced houses. By the 1940s there seemed to be only ads for car sales and other similar businesses. Couldn’t find anyone with the name of Hazeldean in cemetery records apart from a baby. There was at least one person with the surname Hazeldean living in Christchurch in this period but he was living on Tuam St.
