Conference Street in the Central City, Christchurch

Conference Street – Named to commemorate the first general conference of the Methodist Church in New Zealand held in Christchurch in 1874. Its formation was discussed by the Municipal Council and reported in the Star in 1875. Appears in street directories as early as 1878. Not recognised as a public street by the Christchurch City Council until 1960.A bit of information from the library website. A mixture of new and old houses plus housing complexes that looked like social housing. Managed several photos here.
