Remuera Avenue in the suburb of Cashmere, Christchurch

Remuera Ave in Cashmere – Remuera Road first appears in street directories in 1955. Becomes Remuera Avenue in 1964.

A tiny amount of information from the library website. Most entries on Papers Past were ads for selling sections or houses. There were 27 sections available in 1957 and most houses here were built in 1950s and 1960s.

The street runs from Colombo St by a shopping centre and curves around to Centaurus Rd. None of the houses stood out for me but there is a reserve and a playground near the Centaurus Rd end. I actually walked the street twice today as I ended up walking in a figure of eight. I was going to attempt a Wherigo geocache that starts here but I couldn’t figure out what to do. I have now played with the app on my phone and I think that I have figured it out so I will have to go back to this street.

Edited because I found out extra information where researching Sloan Tce. This street was a tiny cul de sac in the 1950s and it expanded to Colombo St when the land was subdivided. Patrick Bernard Sloan and his wife owned 8 acres of land in this area which they started subdividing in the 1950s and after a couple of issues with the council finished subdividing in the early 1960s.
