Tussle Grove in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Tussle Grove in Halswell – Tussle was a horse bred and trained by Professor Irvine. Tussle became one of the best mares produced in New Zealand and was the first horse to win the Rowe Cup, Dominion Handicap and the Inter Dominion Trotting Final, the three biggest trotting races in Australasia – a feat subsequently equalled only by Lyell Creek. Tussle won 38 races and retired as the country’s best stakes-winning trotter.

A reasonable amount of information from the council minutes. Too new for library website and the street shows up on maps but not with a name. The 8 houses here were built in 2021 and 2022. At the end of the street there is some rough grassy green space.
