Lavandula Crescent in the suburb of Burnside, Christchurch

Lavandula Crescent in Burnside and nothing on the library website. I was surprised that there wasn’t an entry on the library website as the houses here date from 1980 except for one built in 2000. Lavandula means English lavender except it isn’t actually an English plant. This street runs from Crosdale Place and then back to Crosdale Place. This is a very narrow street and not all of it had a footpath. Cars were also parked on the footpath. Some of the houses were nice and there were nice gardens as well. Lots of mature trees which I liked but I didn’t really like the street. There is a walkway through to Memorial Ave.

Edited to say that there is a connection to Avice Hill and she subdivided this land in 1960s along with Ethel Francis.
