Shield 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 it. I walked this street today when out geocaching. There was a footpath on only one side of the street which I hate. Also where the footpath ended you felt like you were in someone’s driveway. Not many houses here and most were built in 2000. The only one that stood out for me was one I didn’t really like. Weirdly there is a Shield Reserve but it isn’t anywhere near this street but on a neighbouring street.
