Sugden Street in the suburb of Spreydon, Christchurch

Sugden Street – Probably named after the Sugden family In 1947 Frank Sugden (1894- 1979), a poultry farmer, and Frances Alice Sugden (1924- 1995), a spinster, are living at 77 Simeon Street; John William Sugden (1888?-1951), a shop fitter, is living at 143 Simeon Street. Frances Sugden married Gordon Frederick Beattie in 1948. First appears in street directories in 1950.

A reasonable of information from the library website and I have nothing to add. Most the houses are wooden villa style from 1950 but on the back section are more modern houses from 1990s and 2000s. Managed to get a photo of a house that looked really out of place. I can’t say that I like houses made from what looks like corrugated iron.
A pleasant street but I imagine that it could get noisy for the houses that are at the end beside the loading area of the supermarket at Barrington Mall.
