Elsie Street in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Elsie Street in Halswell and it is too new to be on the library website. Information from council website. Elsie Street – William and Elsie lived at Murphys Road from about 1920 and had two sons while they were there. They farmed wheat and potatoes and milked cows. The milk was sold in Christchurch.Road names have been requested by Alan Ye for roads at the Cloverden subdivision on the corner of Halswell Junction Road and Murphys Road. The road names have been chosen in accordance with the theme of a historic connection to the Murphy family who landed in New Zealand in 1866 and farmed the property until recently. There is nothing that I can add to this information. The houses were fairly boring and all looked alike but you know how I feel about modern houses. So new that there weren’t any proper gardens but some had tiny lawns. One side of the street bordered a really cool playground.
