Milns Road – Named after John Miln (1827-1900). Miln played an important role in the development of Canterbury, including serving on the Canterbury Provincial Council. He built his home, Te Repo, at 265 Halswell Road where it is now the White House Black Restaurant (2015). Named in 2000.
A bit of information from the library website. This street is still being developed and at this stage there is mostly only houses on one side of the street. Open space on the other side of the street and there is a mixture of paddocks with cows and reserves for walking. There is a new subdivision being built and I am not sure if the streets there have names yet. The newer houses were at the Halswell Rd end.
Note the White House Black Restaurant is no longer there and there is now an Asian restaurant there. This building and much of the land used to belong to my doctor who I believe has now retired. His son who took over moved to Wanaka just before I returned home from the UK. The restaurant is actually on Halswell Rd.
