Waimokihi Place and Rawlings Lane and Pablo Place and Alvarez Place.
Couldn’t walk down Rawlings Lane and Pablo Place as there were no footpaths and they both looked like private driveways. Alvarez Place backs on to Oderings Nursery and is in Somerfield.
Waimokihi Place wasn’t on the library website but it was the biggest street compared to the others. It had fairly new houses which all had nice gardens. Some were fronted by a stream and they were lovely. Note Pablo Place is actually in Hoon Hay but is only metres from Rawlings Lane.
Was unable to find reasons for the names. Rawlings Lane first appeared in street directory in 1984 and I suspect this was named after someone.
Pablo Place first appeared in street directory in 1984 and have no idea where the name came from but possibly someone’s name.
Alvarez Place first appeared in street directory in 1991 and it is a place name in Argentina.
Waimokihi Place not on library website but probably developed in the 1970s as the houses here were built in the 1970s. Couldn’t find a precise meaning of Waimokihi but it is the name of the Heathcote River where it runs through Spreydon.
