Mauger Drive in the Heathcote Valley, Christchurch

Mauger Drive – Named after Warner Mauger (1934-). Mauger is a builder and property developer. First appears in street directories in 1980. Information supplied in 2004 by Linda Mauger in an interview with Margaret Harper. A small amount of information on the library website and not a lot that I can add. Warner is originally from Methven and he started his first business in 1953. There is also a charity hospital called Warner Mauger House in Christchurch. Philip Mauger the city Councillor is his son.Most houses are from 1980s and 1990s and there are a few from 2000. The houses from 2000 all seem to have columns at their entrances. Most seem to be made of brick. I didn’t take any photos here which surprised me as it is a fairly long street. I obviously found it a boring street but Warner Reserve does have an entrance here. The most interesting thing on this street was meeting the young woman walking two lambs. Note not long after I walked this street Warner Mauger who the street is named after died. I walked the street before Christmas.
