Lester Lane – formerly Part of Lowe Street, from the railway line to Deans Avenue. Also Lester Street. Named after Roy Stanley Lester (1911-2000). Lester was a Riccarton Borough councillor 1959-1989 and deputy-mayor 1968- 1989. He was also a boxing personality. A small amount of information from the library website.

A short street with the old sale yards one side and businesses on the other side. I checked my cache while here which is hidden in an interesting art work that represents railway history and the earthquakes.The boy racers had obviously been in the area with skid marks on the road and broken glass everywhere.
