Revelation Drive in the suburb of Clifton, Christchurch

Revelation Drive – An extension of Clifton Drive. Named by the developers, Ken Loader and his wife, at the suggestion of Kit Iversen, city surveyor. When he first visited the site and saw the view he exclaimed “What a revelation!” Information supplied in 2007 by Peter Champion, then of White Fox & Jones in an interview with Margaret Harper.

A reasonable amount of information from the library website. I am not sure that is correct as I would have thought that it was more likely to have been named after the Book of Revelation. This street had great views and most of the houses were modern with some unusual designs. Gethsemane Gardens are on this street but I believe that they are no longer open to the public. At the end of the street there was a huge empty section which I believe is owned by the owners of Gethsemane Gardens. There was a house at the top of the street opposite the empty section where I took many photos as it was so interesting.
