Tuscany Place in the suburb of Beckenham, Christchurch

Tuscany Place – Named after Tuscany in Italy. Named by Lynda Mallard who was particularly fond of Tuscany. First appears in street directories in 1991.
A small amount of information from library website and nothing that I can really add. Most the houses seem to have been built in 1980 and 1985 with a couple built in 1990 and 1995 and most are brick houses. Looks like this street was developed at 55 and 57 Waimea Tce. At the end of the street there is a long driveway that leads to several houses. As usual with more modern cul de sac type of street there is a footpath on only one side of the street and we all know how much I hate this. Lynda Mallard is possibly a NZ artist. Note I found that there was a Mallard family living on Corson Ave in the early 1900s.
