Reading St in Upper Riccarton and nothing on the library website yet most houses here were built in 1960s I walked this street by accident as I thought that I was still on Kiltie St. There wasn’t any signpost to say that I was on a different street. I originally was going to comment that Kiltie St was a T shape but looking at the map I quickly realised that the T shape was actually Reading St. I am assuming that it is named after Reading in the UK. Not much information on Papers Past. There were 12 sections available in 1964. In 1971 the residents objected to a hospital for the aged being built at 43 Waimairi Rd as it would cause traffic issues so a site was found elsewhere. In 1973 the 7 residents objected to 15 ownership flats being built on the street and these flats would have a right of way to Waimairi Rd. None of the houses stood out for me but there are two new houses being built at one end of the street. It was at this end that I got slightly confused as there is a sign saying Peerswick Court entry but google maps say that it is part of Reading St. I suspect that the private right of way is actually Peerswick Court and I am basing this on how the houses in Reading St are numbered.
