Celia Street in the suburb of Redcliffs, Christchurch

Celia Street – Named after Cecilia O’Malley, née Boyle, (1859?-1923). She was known as Celia. Cecilia Boyle, a servant, came to New Zealand in 1877 and married Peter O’Malley (1853?-1920), a contractor and landowner of Redcliffs, at the Church of the Most Blessed Sacrament in 1880. The O’Malleys lived at Okuti Valley, Little River after leaving Redcliffs.Interesting information from the library website. This street has Redcliffs Park at one end where the Redcliffs school is being rebuilt. Another street with a mixture of new and old houses. Some of the older houses were small worker type of cottages and the others were huge. The newer houses were big as well. There were a few brick houses of the 1950s to 1960s style scattered along the street. I was going to take a photo of a very badly done mock Tudor style house but there was a couple walking behind me.
