Hamlet Lane in the Heathcote Valley, Christchurch

Hamlet Lane – nothing on library website about this lane. There are two possible reasons for this name and one is that the developer liked Shakespeare especially as there is a Cordelia Lane nearby. The other possible reason for the name relates to another nearby street called Pawaho which is named after Pawaho Hamlet.
It is hard to say if it is a brand new street or just lots of rebuilds here.With a little bit of googling and it looks like most houses were built in 2000s. The street ends at a grassy area and the railway line. I would imagine that it could get noisy with the trains going past especially as it would be freight trains. One house had a lot of native plants. The houses didn’t really stand out for me but I think this street might have had one of the Christmas decorated letterboxes.
