Hunter Terrace in the suburb of Cashmere, Christchurch

Hunter Tce – Named after Charles Hunter (1876?-1965). Hunter was a cartage contractor of 62 Colombo Street. Named in 1947 at the suggestion of the Heathcote County Council. The chairman Cr F. W. Freeman said that “the present creditable appearance of the street was due in great measure
A small amount of information from the library website and not a lot that I can add. Nothing on Paper Past but his father who was also Charles Hunter was mentioned a few times. Sadly one item was the death of baby twins. Charles was born 06/03/1876 and I couldn’t find a precise date of death or where he was buried. On the ancestry website there were several people with the same name and amused by the family tree that put Colombo St in Lyttelton.
I visit this street a lot of there is an entrance to South Library here. As well as the library there is also the Cashmere Club on the street. Only 9 houses and mostly from 1940 and 1950 but one from 1970. There is also a gun club here and I believe that it is the one that my late brother belonged to. The street runs along the Heathcote River and there are buildings on only one side of the street. I wouldn’t actually like to live here as it is the low side of the river and my personal feeling is that you would be at risk of being flooded.
