Hillsborough Terrace in the suburb of Hillsborough, Christchurch

Hillsborough Tce – Formerly Victoria Road. Named after HM Queen Victoria (1819- 1901). Re-named Hillsborough Terrace. Named because it runs through the suburb of Hillsborough which, in turn, was named after the dairy farm of Edward Garland (1824-1893).


Interesting information from the library website. Again quite a few rebuilt houses especially the end of the street near the hills. A mixture of brick, summerhill stone and wooden houses. One house had a huge garden and I suspect that it used to be a separate property before the earthquakes.There was a tennis court fairly near Centaurus Rd end.This is a long street and it goes from Centaurus Rd to the car park for Mt Vernon Park. I only managed one photo as the road was busy and being a nice day there were a lot of people out and about plus there were no outstanding houses.
