Delhi Place in the suburb of Cashmere, Christchurch

Delhi Place – Named after the capital city of India, which from 1911 was named New Delhi. One of the streets in Cashmere given the name of a place in India. First appears in street directories in 1991.

A small amount of information from the library website. There are many streets which have names with a connection to India and the reason is because of John Cracroft Wilson.

I walked a small track from Sasaram Lane to get to Dehli Lane. Dehli had mostly modern looking houses but there was one gorgeous house with tudor style timbers.
