Neave Place in the suburb of Hillmorton, Christchurch

Neave Place – Named after Francis Digby Spencer Neave (1842-1913). Neave owned the Mount Algidus run for 27 years. He was also a fellow of Christ’s College and he lived at Okeover in Ilam. One of the streets in the area formed on land belonging to Christ’s College. First appears in street directories in 1972.Interesting information from library website. Another street where the land still owned by Christs College was sold to an Auckland developer. A short street but because it is in a slightly older suburb the footpath is on both sides of the street. Difficult to photos as the street was really busy. There was Enable contractors plus glaziers. A woman was walking her dog as well. I managed one photo and I was so sure that this was where a former boss from my Postbank days at Barrington but the house looked different from what I remembered,
