Iles Lane in the suburb of Cashmere, Christchurch

Iles Lane in Cashmere and there was nothing on library website about this street. The houses here were built between 1990 and 2018 but when I walked it in August 2020 there were still houses being built. One of the main reasons that I am finding streets from two years that I haven’t written up is that any photos I took were on my old laptop. Recently transferred all photos to my slightly newer laptop as battery failing on the old one. This lane runs off Kidson Tce where 87 to 91 Kidson Tce would have been. I suspect the this lane is named after a person but couldn’t find anyone with that surname living here. It was a fairly common surname. Edited to say that I really hope that it has been named after Marie Iles who received an OBE in 1971 for her Girl Guide work but it is more likely named after some random person connected to the developer.
