Uldale Place in the suburb of Westmorland, Christchurch

Uldale Place in Westmorland – Named after Uldale, a small village in Cumbria, England.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 1996.

A small amount of information from the library website. My book about British Place Names gives the meaning of valley of a man called Ulfr or one frequented by wolves.

The houses here were mostly built in the 1990s and great views here. There is also a walkway to Happy Home Rd from the street. I ended up having a great chat with a retired wharfie on this street and I didn’t find out his name but he obviously knew many of my relatives.
