Heaton Rhodes Place in the suburb of Cashmere, Christchurch

Heaton Rhodes Place – Named after Robert Heaton Rhodes (1861- 1956) Rhodes was a lawyer, runholder, stock breeder, politician, horticulturist, philatelist and philanthropist. Formed on a subdivision of land belonging to the Rhodes Memorial Convalescent Home in 1968. First appears in street directories in 1972.
A small amount of information from the library website and the Rhodes family are well known in Christchurch so I didn’t see the need to research them. A quick google will give you lots of information about them. It is a small street that runs off Dyers Pass Rd and has 19 houses here. At least one house built in 1920 and a few from 1960s and 1970s. I was a bit confused by the QV website as it had several houses built in 2014 but had details for the properties from 1980s and earlier. I checked google maps and they are obviously rebuilds from after the earthquakes. The rebuilds are really ugly. I couldn’t see the house from 1920 as it is set well off the road. There was a sign saying The Bothy but the address for this B & B is actually Dyers Pass Rd.
Nice views here but the street didn’t actually do a lot for me. Not that I could afford to live here as house prices were all over a million dollars.
