Flower Street in the suburb of Bryndwr, Christchurch

Flower Street – Named after Arthur Edward Flower (1874- 1952). Flower was a pupil of Christ’s College and later a master at for 40 years. Flowers House, a boardinghouse at the school, is named after him. This was demolished in 2004. One of the Papanui streets developed on land belonging to Christ’s College. First appears in street directories in 1962.

A reasonable amount of information from the library website. Nothing that I can add to this. Found a good article from a Christ College newspaper about Arthur Flower. Most houses on the street are from 1960s. No photos and nothing stood out for me on this street. Confused street as it doesn’t know which suburb it is in. QV website has in the suburb of Bryndwr.
