Lychgate Close in the suburb of Linwood, Christchurch

Lychgate Close in Linwood – Named because the street leads to what was once the site of the Church of the Most Holy Trinity Avonside and its graveyard. A lychgate is a gateway covered with a roof found at the traditional entrance to a British churchyard. Formed post-1997.

A small amount of information from the library website. I couldn’t find any information about this street as all houses have been demolished. The earliest street view was 2015 and it showed two houses still standing but they were gone by 2019. The street is now red zoned. I was doing a geocaching lab adventure nearby and as I was parked nearby I walked this street. I took a huge number of photos at the cemetery and have I ever mentioned that I love cemeteries.
