Armour Place in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Armour Place in Halswell – This name continues the theme of English heritage and “Courts and Castles” used for the street names in the subdivision. Developed off Milns Road/Sparks Road by Brian Gillman Ltd. Named in 2003.

A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add to this. I walked this street today when geocaching in the area. What surprised me was that there was a footpath on both sides of the street. This is unusual for the age and style of the street. The houses were fairly large and some had nice gardens but many had such immaculate lawns with no colour or flowers that they were boring. The architect with the column fetishes had designed some of the houses but at least the houses weren’t too ugly but none inspired me to take photos.
