McLeish Lane in the suburb of Spreydon, Christchurch

McLeish Lane in Spreydon- First appears in street directories in 1993. Not a lot of information on the library website but I couldn’t find any extra information either.Every house was built in 1990s and they are all brick. Must have been the same developer who built my place. If anyone knows my place then you know what these houses look like. This street runs off Edinburgh St and I thought that I would have already written it up but it was on my list of streets that needed walking. I have no idea why the name and I searched ancestry website but couldn’t find anyone with that name living here. The street was developed at 61 Edinburgh Street. It is a surname rather than a place name and probably used to continue the Scottish theme in the area.
