Haslett Place in Upper Riccarton and it isn’t on library website which is surprising as most houses were built in the 1950s and 1960s.
In 1958 sections were offered by ballot with preference given to returned servicemen. The sections were offered by Land and Survey Dept. By November 1958 houses were available and being sold by Jones for Homes. The houses were described as brick bungalows and the majority of houses on this street are still brick houses. One person called G Martin who lived on this street had lots of ads for hiring out an angledozer. I did google angledozer and it sounds like it was just a bulldozer. I suspect that the street was named after a person but couldn’t find any information to confirm this. Several people with this surname but most had a Rakaia or Ashburton link.
I walked this street a few weeks ago and it was a very ordinary looking street but there was a letterbox that I liked.
