Thirlmere Lane in the suburb of Westmorland, Christchurch

Thirlmere Lane in Westmorland – Named after Thirlmere, a reservoir in the English Lake District in Cumbria. Named to continue the theme in the subdivision of naming streets after places in historic Westmorland in England, since 1974 part of Cumbria. First appears in street directories in 1995.

A small amount of information from library website. Thirlmere means lake at the narrowing. The houses here were built in the 1990s and one house was huge. Wish that I could have got a photo of it. Great views here.
