Oberg Lane in the suburb of Westmorland, Christchurch

Oberg Lane in Westmorland – Named after Hector Percival “Percy” Oberg and his wife, Barbara Helen Oberg. The Obergs bought their land on 26 March 1981 and the subdivision plan which created Oberg Lane was deposited on 14 February 1994. Information supplied in 2012 by Bob Pritchard, subdivisions officer, Christchurch City Council.

A small amount of information from the library website. There were a few entries for Percy on Papers Past as he owned a company. He was born in July 1927 and died in July 2018. Only 13 houses here and they were built in the 1990s. There were some nice houses here but I didn’t manage to get any photos. Another private lane but there was a footpath. The nearby Willow Dell which isn’t on the library website will have been part of the same subdivision.
