Seagar Lane in the suburb of Hillmorton, Christchurch

Seagar Lane in Hillmorton- Named after Edward William Seager (1828- 1922)Seager was a policeman, gaoler and asylum superintendent, being the first superintendent of Sunnyside Hospital. A right-of-way in the second stage of Linden Grove, a Ngāi Tahu subdivision developed on the site of the former Sunnyside Hospital. Named in 2007.

A small amount of information from the library website and there is nothing that I can add about the name of the street. There is lots of information about Edward Seagar online and there are possibly books about him as well.

There is a reserve near this street and there are two entrances to the reserve from the street. One entrance has a set of nice gates. There are 13 houses here and most were built in 2015 and 2016 with a couple built in 2000. Luckily it was a quiet street to walk as there were cars blocking the footpaths even though there was plenty of room to park on the road. All I can say about the houses is that toilet block style dominated here. Another street that I didn’t mean to walk yesterday but I was getting clues for a multi cache.
