Pulford Place in the suburb of Ilam, Christchurch

Pulford Place in Ilam – Named after Douglas Alan Pulford (1918- 1990). Pulford was a stock agent. One of the streets developed in the 1960s by Maurice R. Carter Ltd., a company which built 138 houses in a block of land off Grahams Road bought from the Pyne, Gould, Guinness Ltd. superannuation fund. First appears in street directories in 1968. [This was developed later than other streets in the PGG subdivision.]Information supplied in 2008 by Maurice Carter (d. 2011) in an interview with Margaret Harper.

A small amount of information from the library website. All houses were built in 1960s and they were either typical Maurice Carter style or had a double garage in front with the house on top. This tree lined street runs off Powell Crescent and nothing stood out for me. Looked like a pleasant street.
