Sentinel Place in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Sentinel Place – This name continues the theme of English heritage and “Courts and Castles” used for the street names in the subdivision. Developed at Milns Road/Sparks Road by Brian Gillman Ltd. Named in 2003. A wee bit of information from the library website. There was much more information from the council meeting.1/ 180 Milns Road Brian Gillman Limited This subdivision will create four new roads serving a total of eighty-three new residential allotments. The subdivision is situated at the corner of Sparks Road and Milns Road. The main access road into the subdivision is proposed to be Six Silvers Avenue, as there are six silver birch trees at the entrance to the subdivision, the roadway will be flanked by trees and centre islands giving an ‘avenue’ effect. The remaining three names proposed, Sentinel Place, Shield Place and Armour Place are connected with English heritage and “Courts and Castles” the three roads are all cul de sacs. A copy of the subdivisional plan is attached for the Board’s information. Recommendation: That the Community Board approve the following names for the new subdivision at Milns Road/Sparks Road: ! Six Silvers Avenue ! Sentinel Place ! Shield Place ! Armour PlaceA small street with modern houses that ends at a small reserve. As usual with these small streets in new subdivisions the footpath is only on one side of the street. My photo was taken from the reserve.
