Six Silvers Avenue in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Six Silvers Ave in Halswell – Named because of the six silver birth trees at the entrance to the subdivision. This is the main accessway into the subdivision off Milns Road/Sparks Road. It is flanked by trees and centre islands giving an ‘avenue’ effect. Developed by Brian Gillman Ltd. and named in 2003.

A small amount of information from the library website and I am not going to correct their spelling mistake as it is amusing.

I walked this street today when I was out geocaching and I can’t decide if I like the street or not. Most of the street has a footpath on both sides. There is a nice playground at the Milns Rd end and the trees give it a nice feel. There is also the entrance to a walkway here. The architect with the column fetish was busy on this street. At the other end of the street there is another walkway in Shield Reserve. Most houses were built in 2000 and there was one that I actually quite liked. I was amused by a flag that someone had erected in the middle of the grassy bit in the middle of the road. It had the number 6 on it and pointed towards a driveway.
