Therese Street in the suburb of Spreydon, Christchurch

Therese Street – First mentioned in The Press in 1927. First appears in street directories in 1930.
A small amount of information from the library website and I found the same article from 1927 and it was about laying drains and sewers. In the 1930s there was a plot of land for relief workers in grow vegetables under something called No 5 Scheme and the headline was Unemployment.
In 1944 there were sections for sale. From the QV website there are houses from 1920s to 2000. There was one gorgeous house from 1925 and I also managed to find an Art Deco house. It had a gorgeous garden but I was unable to get photos of the garden.. There was a house at Wychbury St end which had a well kept garden and I am fairly sure that it belongs to a self-employed gardener but it is years since I had contact with this person.
It is a pleasant wee street and very handy to Barrington Mall. I couldn’t find out how the street got it’s name.
