Calverton Place in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Calverton Place – Named after Calverton, northeast of Nottingham in England. In the Oaklands subdivision which was developed by Karl Scott (1910-1997), a journalist and developer. His father’s family had emigrated from Nottingham in the early 20th century. First appears in street directories in 1987. A reasonable amount of information from the library website. I found extra information on a Halswell Community page and Karl Scott purchased a property that was called Oaklands by the previous owner of the property. Apparently there were several oak trees on the property that was originally called Halswell House.Most the houses built in the 1980s and 1990s and there is an entrance to Ridder Reserve here. I liked this street as there were some quirky features here.
