Winsor Crescent – Named after William Hinnels Winsor (1876- 1936). Winsor was mayor of Spreydon 1916-1918 and a Christchurch city councillor 1920-1925. A crescent-shaped street developed in a government housing subdivision. Named in 1937.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website and nothing much that I can add. The same article from April 1938 about the naming of Beanland Ave also mentioned the naming of Winsor Crescent. Most houses are still the originals from the 1930s. One house had a modern attachment built onto it and it looked weird.
