Albert Sheppard Close in Yaldhurst – Named after Albert Shepherd George (1868?-1962). [NB His name is spelt incorrectly in the street name.]The land developed into the Delamain subdivision had been owned by the George family for the last three generations. The original purchaser and his son were both named Albert Shepherd George. Named in 2007.
A small amount of information from library website. The George family possibly owned the land but they didn’t live there. Both father and son farmed in the Amberley area and the farm was called The Mound and was at Waipara. The father moved to Christchurch and lived on Clyde Rd when he retired. His son took over the farm. There was also two daughters and the father tried disinheriting one of the daughters but the courts overturned this.
The houses here look exactly the same but there is a lovely green area behind the houses. The houses were mostly built in 2010.
