Iona Place in the suburb of Sockburn, Christchurch

Iona Place in Sockburn. I was surprised that there wasn’t any information on the library website as the 11 houses on this street were built in 1980s. There was a footpath on both sides of the road which I liked and there was a playground. The grass in the playground was very long but I have noticed this in other reserves and playgrounds in Christchurch. This short street runs off Cheyenne Street. I couldn’t find out why the street was called Iona and it is possibly named after Iona in Scotland. Iona in Scotland is a fantastic place to visit. Because most of the streets in this area have names connected to horse racing I looked for racehorses with name with no luck.
