Hunt Lane in Avondale – Named after Hugh Peter Hunt. Hunt was chief engineer with the Christchurch Drainage Board 1981- 1989. The Christchurch Drainage Board owned an area of low-lying land in Avondale which they filled up with dredgings from the river so the land could be subdivided and built on. The Board named the streets formed there and former board and staff members of the Drainage Board were among those honoured in the naming. At the time of naming of the streets it was intended to have 11 streets and cul-de-sacs in the new subdivision. Named on 21 November 1984. First appears in street directories in 1987. Information supplied in 2007 by Paul Baldwin, Christchurch City Council in an interview with Margaret Harper.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website for such a tiny street. There were more houses here than I expected as it only looks like a driveway to a couple of houses but there are actually 8 houses here all built in the 1990s. It did have a tiny footpath that went for a short distance into the street. Still felt like a private driveway.
