Peel Street in the suburb of Strowan, Christchurch

Peel St in Strowan – Named after Peel, the third largest town on the Isle of Man. Formed when the western portion of the Strowan Park Estate was subdivided in 1911. The developer may have had some connection with the Isle of Man as other streets in the vicinity are named after towns on the Isle of Man. A small amount of information from the library website. Not a lot of information on Papers Past. A few death notices and garden competition entries. In 1917 F Smith was selling a section on the street and in 1918 Mr J Ferguson was selling two sections. This tree lined street had some lovely houses with several dating from 1920. This street bisects St Andrews Square.
