Stud Road in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Stud Rd in Yaldhurst – Named because the street was developed on the former Applefields land in Yaldhurst Road. The property has historical connections with the breeding and racing of standard breed horses. In the Noble Village subdivision [This name caused great mirth among councillors at the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board meeting when the chairman presented the council with a list of names to be approved for streets in the subdivision.] Named in 2011

A small amount of information from the library website and I can just imagine the councillors behaving like immature school kids over the name. There is a footpath on both sides of the street and most houses were built in 2021 but there are still houses being built here. The houses and street are too new to have any character yet.
