Bronte Place in the suburb of Waltham, Christchurch

Bronte Place in Waltham – Named after Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte. The Bronte sisters were 19th century authors from Yorkshire, England. Named to continue the theme of “poets and writers” streets of Sydenham, Addington and Waltham named by a committee of the Sydenham Borough Council on 19 January 1880.First appears in street directories in 1983.A reasonable amount of information from the library website and can you see their mistake. A tiny street with only three houses. One house was built in 1910 and the other two were built in 1915. There was no mention of this street on Papers Past and the article from January 1880 didn’t mention the street by name. The street runs from Walpole Street to a wee reserve that is on Brougham St.
