Haddon Lane in the suburb of Harewood, Christchurch

Haddon Lane in Harewood. There was nothing on the library website about this street. I assumed that it was because it was a very new street so was very surprised to find that the houses date from 1995 and 2005. The houses were huge and there are only 9 houses here. One house was very Mediterranean looking and I wish that I could have got a photo of it. Another house was extremely modern looking and looked more like a office building than a house. The street is where 298 Gardiners Road would have been. At the end of the street there is a reserve that leads to Springvale Gardens. The value of these houses was a little bit beyond my budget. I searched cemetery database and ancestry website but couldn’t find anyone with the surname Haddon that lived in this area. There is also a place called Haddon in England but suspect that it is more likely to be named after someone but couldn’t find out who. This street isn’t on Street View.
