St Thomas Place in the suburb of Woolston, Christchurch

St Thomas Place – Named to continue the street name theme begun by St Johns Street. Developed off St Lukes Street. Named in 1997.

A wee bit of information from the library website. I only managed one photo here and it just doesn’t show the scale of the houses here. The houses looked brand new so I am assuming that they are rebuilds. I don’t mean to make a judgement or stereotype this suburb but the houses on this street were not what I was expecting in this area. I hope that my friends who live in Woolston will forgive me if I say that Merivale style of house is not what I expected. I don’t know if it was because it was a nice afternoon but so many people were out and about in their gardens or garages. There were at least houses that I wish I could have taken photos of as they were amazing. Not sure I liked them but we all know that I do have a preference for older style of houses.
