Waygreen Avenue in the suburb of New Brighton / Red Zone, Christchurch

Waygreen Ave in New Brighton / Red Zone. This street wasn’t on the library website and I couldn’t find a reason for the name. The street is mentioned in the media and the are photos of the houses on UC QuakeStudies. It looks like most of the houses were built in the 1990s so they weren’t old houses when demolished. The street ran from New Brighton St to Atlantis St. I found a description of the street on Stuff website called interactives.stuff. “It was a little street and whimsical by design and old English style lamps adorned the footpaths.” Some of the lamps are still there. This area suffered badly from liquefaction and it is now badly overgrown
