Fairview Street in the suburb of Somerfield, Christchurch

Fairview Street – Named in 1927 at the suggestion of Thomas Sydney Dacre (1883-1943), a barrister and solicitor.
Small amount of information from the library . I googled this man and as he lived in the Linwood area I am not sure why he ended up naming this street which is in the Spreydon area. I checked Papers Past and found an article in the Press dated 27th September 1927 that confirmed this information. Apart from a couple of blocks of modern brick flats all the houses here were older wooden houses. A nice wee park with a playground was here as well and Shorty who I worked with in the bank lives on this street. We had a great catch up as he was in his driveway when I walked past.
