Molesworth Place in Somerfield – Formerly Tarndale Place. The pastoral runs of Molesworth, Tarndale, Dillon and St. James were formed into Molesworth Station. Re-named Molesworth Place. Named after the Molesworth Station. Tarndale Place first appears in street directories in 1972. Re-named Molesworth Street in 1976. In a subdivision where the streets are named after rivers or properties in North Canterbury.
A reasonable of information from the library website. Very little information in Papers Past and there were sections for sale in 1972 in the Tarndale subdivision. A couple of ads in 1976 say Lower Cashmere. Note I get the suburb details from four different official websites. Another street that I walked in August this year and yes I was geocaching in the area. Most houses here were built in the 1970s but none stood out for me. It is really ugly modern houses or lovely older houses that I tend to notice. Part of Ashgrove Reserve is on this street. It looked like a pleasant street. As a side note I would love to do the Molesworth Station trip one day but doubt that my little car would manage it.
