Oakhurst Place in the suburb of Russley, Christchurch

Oakhurst Place in Russley and another street that isn’t mentioned on the library website. The houses date from 1950 through to 2000. The street is possibly named after a place in the UK but couldn’t actually find this information. Papers Past had a few death notices and they were a rather accident prone street considering it is a tiny street. A couple of car accidents including one death in the 1960s. Sadly a young boy in 1962 died in a fall of earth. Nothing outstanding about the street and houses are typical for the 1950s and 1960s. Mostly fairly tidy but a couple had overgrown grass berms.
