Rudleigh Avenue in the suburb of Upper Riccarton, Christchurch

Rudleigh Avenue in Upper Riccarton and this street isn’t on the library website.
I am surprised that it isn’t on the library website as it is an older street. QV website has houses built mostly in the 1920s and 1930s with a few from 1980s.
In Papers Past there is mention of this street as early as 1927 when council were looking at sewers and electric street lights. In 1930 the council were looking at fixing footpaths and erecting a street sign. In the 1930s there were 15 sections up for sale and they were aimed at staff at the Wigram Aerodrome as there had been a recent increase of staff there.
By 1942 there is mention of State Houses and fire protection for them. There had been a recent fire in a state house on a neighbouring street..
This street had mostly older wooden villas and some were lovely. This was a pleasant street and I couldn’t see that there large numbers of students living here.
I couldn’t find out how this street got the name Rudleigh. It sounds like a person’s surname but couldn’t find anyone in Christchurch with that name. It also isn’t a place name anywhere. Did find a street in Bristrol UK called Rudgleigh St.
