Moyna Ave in Dallington – Named after Moyna Coulter, née Foster, (1937- ).Moyna Coulter’s father, John Foster, was a draughtsman at the Lands & Survey Department in 1947, the year the street name was approved. He was later Town Planning officer at Christchurch City Council. First appears in street directories in 1957. Information supplied in 2008 by Moyna Coulter in an interview with Margaret Harper.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name of the street.
Not a lot of information on Papers Past but the residents were an accident prone lot especially with car accidents. A few death notices. In 1965 land was set aside for a playground.
Most the houses here were built in the 1950s and 1960s with a couple of rebuilds in 2015.
The playground is still here on the street and it is on the same side of the street where there are still houses. The other side of the street is in the red zone with only one house still standing.
