Foula Place in the suburb of Woolston, Christchurch

Foula Place in Woolston – Named after Foula, one of the Shetland Islands of Scotland. Continues the theme of using names from the Shetland Islands for cul-de-sacs developed off Kennaway Road. Named in 2014.

A small amount of information from the library website. Foula means bird island and I had recently looked it up in my Dictionary of British Place Names because of a book that I had been reading.

I had been geocaching in the area so decided to walk a couple of streets. This street is part of the Port Link Business Park and the area is still being developed. There is also a new cycleway being developed in the area.
