De Thier Lane – Named after Bret de Thier (1945-). De Thier was one of New Zealand’s most successful Finn-class yachtsmen. Walter de Thier (1883-1973) was his grandfather. First appears in street directories in 1996.
A bit of information on the library website and I have heard of Bret de Thier. My photo is taken from Richmond Hill Rd. Large modern houses on this street and it looks more like a driveway than a street so I didn’t fully walk it. Great views.
