Larnder Lane in Kennedys Bush – This subdivision is being developed by Andrew and Bridget Thomas. They have owned the property for 28 years. They have taken it from a gorse and broom filled paddock to what it is today with extensive native plantings. Bridget Thomas’s maiden name is Larnder. She is one of four daughters of Prue and the late Dr Derek Larnder O.B.E. (1922-2009). Dr Larnder was a very well-known and respected dermatologist in Christchurch from 1958 to 1992. He did a lot of voluntary work in the community including launching Christchurch’s first free clinic for skin cancer checks in 1989. The popularity and success of these clinics led to their extension throughout the South Island. His participation in professional associations included the President of the New Zealand Dermatological Society. He was the only doctor in Australasia to become an honorary overseas member of the British Association for Dermatologists, and was fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. In 1989 he was awarded an O.B.E. for services to dermatology.
A reasonable amount of information from the council minutes and nothing that I can add to the name of the street. There aren’t any houses here yet but the valuation website says that there are 9 sections. They will have great views.
