Strathmore Gardens in the suburb of Burwood, Christchurch

Strathmore Gardens in Burwood – Named after the earldom of Strathmore and Kinghorne. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (1900-2002) was the daughter of Claude George Bowes-Lyon, 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne (1855- 1944). A development behind Burwood Home and the Kingslea Resource Centre. Formed post-1997.

A reasonable amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name of the street. It runs off Broomfield Tce and the entrance to the street has several stone lions. There are 15 houses here and they were all built in 2000. The houses are huge with a few different styles and the gardens are immaculate. Probably a pleasant street to live in but not my style. My usual complaint of the footpath being on only one side of the street.
