The Spur – Named after The Spur, the property of Samuel Hurst Seager (1855- 1933). Hurst Seager subdivided and sold his property at auction in 1914. It was on the corner of Nayland Street and the Christchurch-Sumner Road. First appears in street directories in 1957.

Reasonable amount of information from the library website and I couldn’t actually walk this one. Maps show it as a track rather than a street but couldn’t find an entrance to the track. Possibly blocked because of earthquake damage. I am wondering if my photo is of Seager’s house.

  1. The Spur track has an entrance (the only one?) at the bottom, at the north end off Nayland St, clearly sign-posted 3Mar2024. I found the top of the track, amongst private property, whilst trying to find Aranoni Track! A resident up there told me there was no top entrance, and this confirmed our noisy explorations.
