Horton Place in Avondale – Named after Edward Beath Horton (1910- 1985) and his wife, Mona Louisa Grace Horton (1914- 2004). Horton was a builder of nearby 54 Breezes Road in 1958. He and his wife were former owners of the site where this street was developed. Their names are shown on the subdivision plan that developed Pembroke Street. Named on 21 February 1962. Information supplied in 2009 by Bob Pritchard, subdivisions officer, Christchurch City Council.
A reasonable 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. A few death and engagement notices. Ads for houses in the 1960s. This street runs off Pembroke St and there are only 26 houses here. Most were built in the 1960s but there are several built after 2014. There is still a vacant section on the street. The newer houses are on the side of the street that borders the red zone. Looks like a pleasant street but too close to the red zone for my liking.
