Shorthorn Lane in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Shorthorn Lane in Halswell – too new for library website. Shorthorn is a cattle breed but can’t find any evidence of cattle having ever been on this land. The subdivision was described as a boutique subdivision which usually means expensive. The houses here are huge on fairly large sections and built between 2021 and 2023. I thought that the subdivision was possibly part of Thornton Grange but not sure as the street was part of the Kings Wood subdivision. I couldn’t find out any more information and I checked Papers Past and Ancestry website. Thornton Grange mostly grew strawberries and asparagus plus they bred dogs.
