Stewart Street – Harry Street was incorporated into Stewart Street. Named after Francis Edward Stewart (1833- 1904) Stewart was the deputy superintendent of Canterbury in 1867. He died in Australia. The West Christchurch School Committee contributed to the costs of Harry Street’s formation in 1875. Harry Street was incorporated into Stewart Street in 1880.
This street was longer than I realised. and Hagley College was on one side and medical buildings on the other side plus a big empty section at the Moorhouse Ave end. Found some street art at Hagley College and there was a brand new diabetes centre named the Don Beaven Medical Research Centre. It was a tragic loss when Don Beaven died.
