Leith Place in the suburb of Spreydon, Christchurch

Leith Place – First appears in street directories in 1993.
Not much information from the library website.. I couldn’t find out any information but the naming of the street is obvious as the street runs off Edinburgh St. All the houses except for one were built in the 1990s. They were modern brick houses with neat and tidy gardens but no individuality. Note I live in a brick house built in the 1990s so I shouldn’t really be so scathing about them. One house which I couldn’t see was built in the 1950s. This house was hidden behind other houses. I have two theories about this street. One is that the 1950s property was on a large piece of land and was subdivided. The second theory is that there was land left over from building the motorway and it was turned into housing. There was a wee reserve at the end of the street which I didn’t know about and I will look at hiding a geocache here once things settle down and we come out of lockdown.
