Dundee Place in the suburb of Spreydon, Christchurch

Dundee Place in Spreydon – Named in 1955. Not a lot of information on the library website.

This street runs off Edinburgh St where 17 and 19 Edinburgh St would have been. Most streets in this area have a Scottish theme. Most houses are built in 1950 and at the end of the street there is a social housing complex. The street address for the complex is 16 Dundee Place but they are called Maurice Carter Courts and are owned by the City Council. Most of the units were built in the 1990s but 12 new units were built in 2012. There are apparently a total of 51 units here. They also have a communal hall which was badly damaged by a suspicious fire in December 2018. The units looked really nice and tidy. On the corner of Dundee Place and Edinburgh St there was a house with a fantastic garden. The trees and high fences made it difficult to see and I will confess to peering through the fence. The garden was gorgeous.
