Tangmere Place in the suburb of Burwood, Christchurch

Tangmere Place in Burwood – Named after Tangmere, a village, civil parish and electoral ward in the Chichester District of West Sussex, England. First appears in street directories in 1987.A small amount of information from the library website. Most of the houses here were built in the 1980s and there was also a wee reserve that had playground equipment. The street runs off Lake Terrace Rd and it slopes down from this road. If Horseshoe Lake ever flooded I imagine that the water would run down Tangmere Place and flood the street. Tang means tongue or fork and mere means pool. As with many modern streets there was a footpath on only one side of the street. The houses looked fairly nice and there was one that had an entrance that I would loved to have taken a photo of. It had various signs that basically meant visitors weren’t welcome.
