Dave Jamieson Lane in the suburb of Hillmorton, Christchurch

Dave Jamieson Lane in Hillmorton- Named after Dave Jamieson. Jamieson was one of the most influential horticulturalists involved in the establishment of the gardens at Sunnyside. At his request the name David was changed to Dave, as this is the name he uses. A right-of-way in the second stage of a Ngai Tahu subdivision developed on the site of the former Sunnyside Hospital. Named in 2007.

A reasonable amount of information from the library website. The library website has this street in Middleton but all the surrounding streets are in Hillmorton. I couldn’t find anything online about Dave Jamieson. I didn’t actually walk this street as it was a private lane and I didn’t realise that the buildings were houses as they looked like businesses. Most were built in 2019 with a couple built in 2010. The lane runs off Mokihi Gardens.
