Clipston Place in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Clipston Place – Named after Clipston, a small village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire. 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. Information from a Halswell Community website has Karl Scott purchasing a property called Oaklands. The previous owner named it Oaklands after the oak trees on the property.Most houses date from 1980s and 1990s and the street has an entrance to Ridder Reserve. My biggest memory of walking the street is trying not to trip over on the damaged footpath. The trees lining the street looked lovely with all the blossom but the tree roots have badly damaged the footpath.
