Miles Street in Kennedys Bush – Grosvenor Miles (1822 – 1865) partnered with William Britten and William White as quarry founders from 1864 until William Britten purchased the partnership post his death. Miles was very active in the formation of the Mechanics Institute, and also the treasurer of the Musical Union, the Canterbury Horticultural Society, and the Christchurch Gas Company in the late 1860s.
A reasonable amount of information from council minutes. The street is too new to be on library website or on maps. Grosvenor Miles was only 43 when he died in 1865. His widow died in Oamaru in 1895. Their son also called Grosvenor died in 1896 at sea on his way to England. The partnership between Grosvenor Miles and George Gould was dissolved in 1860 and the general business was carried on in the old store by G Miles. His residence and grounds that was between Colombo and Manchester Streets was for sale in 1866.
