Foden Lane and Dennis Lane in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Foden Lane and Dennis Lane are both too new for library website. Both these lanes run off Prospect Place and are possibly named after Dennis Foden. I will need to read the books Divine Rock the Quarryman’s Gift by Greg C Smith and History of Halswell by Graeme C Penney as the developers took the names for the streets in Quarry Park from these books. Both of these streets are still having houses built on them and Dennis Lane was blocked by vehicles belonging to builders and I only managed to walk half of Foden Lane because of the same reason. I will need to do more research to confirm my theory about Dennis Foden.
