McClintock Lane in the suburb of Sockburn, Christchurch

McClintock Lane in Sockburn – Named after Brother James Ignatius McClintock (1910-1985) Brother McClintock was foundation principal of St Thomas of Canterbury College 1961-1966.

Formed on land purchased from the school. Named in 2003.

A small amount of information from the library website for a tiny street. There are apparently 7 houses here all built in 2005 but I didn’t walk this wee street. There wasn’t a footpath and I wouldn’t have been comfortable walking it. To walk it you would have been practically in the houses front gardens and the lane was like a narrow driveway.
