Hurunui St in Cracroft – Named after the Hurunui River. In a subdivision where the streets are named after rivers and sheep stations in North Canterbury. First appears in street directories in 1964.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name of the street. There was an article in 1964 about the names of streets in the new subdivision being named after rivers and properties in North Canterbury. The rest of the entries on Papers Past were mostly ads. I was amused by a couple of ads spelling Cracroft as Craycroft. Most of the houses were built in 1960s but I liked the house built in 1990s. The street couldn’t make up it’s mind if it was in Cracoft or Lower Cashmere.
A pleasant street and it was a pleasant walk on a nice day.
