Eaglesome Avenue in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Eaglesome Ave – Named after the Eaglesome family. The Eaglesomes were early settlers in the area. Hugh and Florence Eaglesome were residents of Halswell in the 19th century. John and Isabella Eleanor Eaglesome (1862-1939) were also early residents of Halswell. Named on 31 January 2001.Interesting information from the library website. Most of the houses on this street were huge. Again mostly brick with occasional weatherboard cladding. Well kept gardens with lawns and easy care scrubs. Expensive looking garden decorations and I am not sure that I would risk displaying them. I didn’t manage to get any photos as I didn’t feel comfortable taking photos here. This was a pity as a few of the houses were interesting either because of the size of them or the design. Lots of columns here similar to what I saw in Northwood. One house looked more like an accommodation block rather than a house. There was one that I did like for the interesting brickwork.
