St Leonards Square in the suburb of Sumner, Christchurch

St Leonard’s Square is first mentioned in The Press in 1882. Very little information on the library website. I found the article from 1882 where a section is for sale. Most articles on Papers Past mention the park and not the street. Going by QV website many houses date from 1915 and 1920s but one is a bit more modern and dated from 1990. My best guess for the name would be that it is from the town in East Sussex.
I obviously walked this tiny street before lockdown. The houses are only on one side of the street as St Leonards Square Park is on the other side
