Manor Place in the suburb of Bryndwr, Christchurch

Manor Place – Developed by Maurice R. Carter Ltd on the site of the Greer farm. First appears in street directories in 1957. Information supplied in 2008 by Maurice Carter (d. 2011) in an interview with Margaret Harper. “Maurice R. Carter Ltd. built “Home of Year”, The Press, 10 November 1958, pp 16-18

Reasonable amount of information from library website. Couldn’t find any extra information about the naming of the street. Maurice Carter was born in Bradford area in Yorkshire and possibly at Ravensthorpe going by ancestry website. Most houses on this street are dated from 1950s with one dated 2000. At the end of the street there is an entrance to Edgar Mcintosh Park. Mostly brick houses with a few wooden ones. Nothing really stood out for me on this street apart from an interesting letterbox.
