Torvill and Dean Lane in the suburb of Cashmere, Christchurch

Torvill and Dean Lane in Cashmere – Named after Jayne Torvill (1957-) and Christopher Dean (1958-).Torvill and Dean were famed for their ice dancing, winning a gold medal at the 1984 Winter Olympics. Developed on the former site of Ice Rinks Christchurch Ltd., 12 Centaurus Road, Cashmere. First appears in street directories in 1991.

A reasonable amount of information from the library website. Who is old enough to remember the ice skating rink. I have the most dreadful photo of me at the ice skating rink plus I wasn’t very good at ice skating. Most of the houses here were built in the 1980s and mostly seem to be made from brick. Nothing really stood out for me.
