Jennifer Street – Named after Jennifer Anne Mayne, née Cox, (1945-) Jennifer Mayne’s father was Leslie Ballantyne Cox (1899-1967), once a ploughman in Rakaia and later a roading contractor in Christchurch. Cox established his business in 1927 and his obituary says “he formed many of the streets in Christchurch”. Much of his early work was done with horses and drays. First appears in street directories in 1948. Information supplied in 2009 by Jennifer Mayne in an interview with Margaret Harper.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website and not a lot that I can add to it.. Nothing on Papers Past and very little information on ancestry website.The QV website has houses dating from 1940s onwards. A few more modern houses on back sections. The art deco house is dated from 1940 and sold for the first time in 2018. Real agent made a big deal of this. Not the best example of art deco and it didn’t do a lot for me. Houses ranged from 1940 and covered most decades.There was one house I would loved to have got a photo of as the window sills and doors were bright blue. Even the curtains in the house were blue.It stood out. There is an entrance to Edgar Mcintosh Park from this street. A pleasant street.
