Drummond Street in the suburb of Sydenham, Christchurch

Drummond Street formerly Poulson’s Lane Formed in 1875 when a Mr Woodford purchased land here and subdivided it into twenty lots. Re-named Drummond Street in 1889. Due to an oversight the street remained in the original title until 1995 when the Council finally took ownership.
A wee bit of information from the library website. A tiny street and because it is an older street it has a footpath on both sides. Nothing on the library website about where the name Drummond came from. Mostly older houses with a new house at the end of the street. This street is more of a place rather than a street as it is a no exit street. There were a couple of tiny houses that looked new and more like baches than proper houses. They seemed to be made of polite but I wouldn’t have expected that this cladding to be used these days. I did manage a photo of an old cottage.
