Lookaway Lane and Lookaway Place in Huntsbury – First appears in street directories in 1991.
A tiny amount of information from the library website and it only refers to Lookaway Lane as Lookaway Place wasn’t on the library website.
I am assuming that the name comes from the views across Christchurch towards the mountains. Most houses were built in the 1990s and many are huge. I almost missed Lookaway Lane as it looks like a driveway but there are 5 houses there. It wasn’t easy to walk on Lookaway Place and I was frequently forced to walk on the road. Between cars parked on the footpath and low hanging branches it made walking difficult. Still I did have a lovely chat with one of the residents. She had fantastic views from her place. I introduced myself and explained my hobby and that I had walked up from Centaurus Rd. She said that I had a lot more energy than her and she was then shocked to realise that I was older than her.
