Bean Street – Named after Canon Walter Stanley Bean (1856?-1949). Canon Bean was a former pupil of Christ’s College. He was the vicar of St. Mary’s Anglican Church, Addington 1892-1933 and a canon of Christchurch Cathedral 1913-1931. He was also a son-in-law of Richard John Seddon. One of the streets in the area formed on land belonging to Christ’s College. First appears in street directories in 1970.
Interesting information from library website. Similar houses to West-Watson Ave and West-Watson Park is also bordered by this street. Another street where any land that was still owned by Christs College was sold off to an Auckland developer and stopped house owners from freeholding their land. Again I didn’t manage decent photos here.
