Guildford Street in the suburb of Burnside, Christchurch

Guildford Street in Burnside – Named after Guildford, a town in Surrey, England. First appears in street directories in 1960.A small amount of information from the library website and not a lot that I can add about the name. This street was part of the state housing development in the area and most of the houses were built in the 1950s. They have the typical look for state houses of that era. The street runs from Greers Rd to Grahams Rd and I was walking back to my car after getting clues for a multi cache. I have actually walked down this street many times but not recently. Most houses look fairly tidy but nothing outstanding about the street.
