Arnold Street in the suburb of Sumner, Christchurch

Arnold Street is first mentioned in The Press in 1895. First appears in street directories in 1912. Not a lot from the library website.
I checked Papers Past and Ancestry website. I found the same article from 1895 and it was about a water issue on the street. Several sections in the street for sale in 1905 and in 1916 the council provided money for a footpath and a new bridge. I suspect that the street is named after a person and there was a family with that surname in Lyttelton but couldn’t find a Sumner connection.. There was also a Mr Arnold who worked for Dalgety and Co and it sounded like he was high up in the company. There was also an actor called Mr Arnold who was very popular at this time and he had done at least three tours to NZ.
I have just realised that I haven’t found a cemetery in Sumner. This street had a mixture of new and old houses and no house style really stood out for me. There was one lovely old house that I loved and my photo just doesn’t do it justice. Interesting letterbox at another house. Another street that I walked before lockdown.
