Lewis Street – Named after the Lewis family. David Lewis (1825- 1874), of Halswell House, arrived in Canterbury in the 1850s. His son, Charles Lewis (1857-1927), was a member of the House of Representatives and also parliamentary whip. He farmed at Halswell where he bred Shropshire cattle.
The library website had a long blurp for a very short uninteresting street. A more modern area of town probably from the 1960s to 1970s. There are a few shops here but the only reason I did this street yesterday was because I needed a geocache for a souvenir. David Lewis is buried at Barbadoes St Cemetery
