Johnson Street in the suburb of Sydenham, Christchurch

Johnson Street -Named after Samuel Johnson (1709-1784). Johnson was an English writer. One of the “poets and writers” streets of Sydenham, Addington and Waltham named by a committee of the Sydenham Borough Council on 19 January 1880.
A small amount of information from the library website. There were rundown houses one side and City Care depot on the other side. This road leads to the back of Nazareth House and Sydenham Park.
