Clifton Terrace – A cliffside settlement named for the cliffs when the hill was subdivided. Clifton Terrace is first mentioned in The Press in 1910 when land is advertised for sale there. First appears in street directories in 1910 as Clifton, running off Main Road Sumner.
A bit of information from the library website. Another street with great views, A mixture of old and new houses plus older houses awaiting repairs. I did chat to a couple of roofers who were working on a rebuild. In the garden of the house there was a spire sitting on the ground and they think that it was from the original house. I couldn’t get a decent photo of it. There was an interesting looking older house and I couldn’t get a decent photo of it but did manage a photo of tree house in the grounds of this house. New houses had lots of large windows.
Gordon Ogilvie’s book has the area of Clifton as being previously named Deans Head. A previous owner of much of the land was A J White.
