Rosedale Place in the suburb of Avonhead, Christchurch

Rosedale Place in Avonhead – nothing on library website which was surprising as the houses were built in 1960s and 1970s. I couldn’t find out how the street got it’s name. Papers Past mostly had ads for the sale of houses and sections. The sections were for sale between 1967 and 1969 and usually described as exclusive. The street was frequently entered in the best street and garden competitions.

I had been geocaching nearby and walked this street to get back to my car. There is a walkway from Maidstone Road to this street. It seemed like a pleasant street and would be especially lovely in spring when the trees that line the street are in blossom. Most houses were typical for the 1960s and 1970s but a couple were a bit different. Most gardens were nice but nothing really stood out for me.
