Corgwyn Avenue in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Corgwyn Ave in Halswell – First appears in street directories in 1993.

A tiny amount of information from the library website.

Only 14 properties here and most built in 1990s and 2000s but two were built in 1970 and one built in 1960 so I was surprised that it was only named in 1993. A good look at google maps answered this as it looks like the street was developed at 867 to 873 Cashmere Rd. I was also surprised that it is an Avenue as it doesn’t seem to fit the rules for an Avenue especially as it is more like a place being a no exit street. This street had no footpaths so I had to walk on the road but luckily it isn’t a busy road. The houses here were large and modern and expensive. None that I could see had flowers or gardens and just had lots of lawns. At the end of the street there was a huge section with a very long driveway. The house looked huge and very definitely beyond my budget.

Interesting name for the street as it is either the plural for corgi or the word for Welsh corgis.
