Englefield Road in the suburb of Northwood, Christchurch

Englefield Road – Named after Charles William Englefield (1859- 1937). Englefield and his family leased land on the corner of North Road and what became Englefield Road from the Church Property Trustees. First appears in street directories in 1962.Interesting information from the library website. This street was obviously older as the houses were older with a lot of brick or summerhill stone. No houses stood out but at least there was a footpath on both sides of the road. There was an entrance to Englefield Park on this street. The only photo I took was of a sign outside a childcare place but also included one from the park.. I also couldn’t find the caches in this area.
