Vega Place in the Heathcote Valley, Christchurch

Vega Place – First appears in street directories in 1987.
Not much information from the library website. The houses here were built in the 1990s and the tiny street runs off Port Hills Rd almost opposite the French Bakery. At the end of the street is a plant nursery. Ended up chatting to a local and she has lived in Heathcote all her life and said it has changed a lot in her lifetime.
It must get very noisy with all the heavy trucks going pass on Port Hills Rd. Vega is a Spanish word for dweller in the meadow or fertile place. As this street backs onto Horotane Valley it is a good name for the street.
