Raekura Place in the suburb of Redcliffs, Christchurch

Raekura Place – Designed by Anna Holmes “Nancy” Northcroft (1913-1980), town planner, and architects Cowie and McGregor. Developed by Fred Blogg in 1971. Te Rai Kura means: redcliffs. No wonder this street had newer looking houses on it going by the information on the library website. Most were flats with houses at cliff end of the street. I suspect that at least one house at the cliff end has been demolished. A couple had nice gardens but most were too small to have decent gardens.
