Chimera Crescent in the suburb of New Brighton / Red Zone, Christchurch

Chimera Crescent in New Brighton / Red Zone- Named after the TVR Chimaera, a two-seater convertible sports car manufactured by TVR 1992- 2003. Name approved in 1996 but not used until 2000A small amount of information from the library website. Nothing that I can really add as this area was developed by Rookwood Holdings which is owned by the Mauger family and they are into their cars. Note the name of the car is spelt slightly differently to the street. The council actually didn’t approve the name of this street as it was felt that it was too similar to Cerbera Close.Another street were I couldn’t find out any extra information and I suspect that most houses would have been built in the 1990s but have since been demolished. This area suffered badly from liquefaction. Part of this area has been planted with natives plants and there is a sign about the the project. Sadly there are also signs asking people not to steal the plants.
