Monkton Place in the suburb of Avonside (red zone)Christchurch

Monkton Place- Probably named after Monkton, near Troon in Ayrshire, Scotland. First appears in street directories in 1974.

A small amount of information from the library website. Another red zone street. Couldn’t find any other information about the naming of the street and Monkton is really close to Glasgow airport. Found an article in The Press about the street having been a previous winner in the Cul de Sac Street Awards and the judge talked about how sad it was to see the state of the street after the earthquakes.
