Waller Terrace – formerly Richmond Road and Richmond Terrace. Named after Francis Dalziel Waller (1869- 1944). Re-named Waller Terrace on 1 September 1948 when 120 streets were re-named. Waller was headmaster of Christchurch West High School (later Hagley High School) 1916-1927.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website. One side of the street at the Hagley Ave end has Hagley College and on the other has houses. There were two older houses and there was a brand new place that I am sure wasn’t there last time I walked down this street. Moorhouse Ave end has businesses plus I found some street art.
I am sure that at school ( Christchurch Girls High )there was a teacher called Miss Waller and I wonder if she was related to Francis Waller.
