Vicki Street in Sockburn and there wasn’t any information on the library website about this street. I searched but couldn’t find a reason for the name and it is probably named after a person. Not much information on Papers Past. The street was extended in 1960. The reserve was created in 1957 and called Vicki Reserve. I checked older maps and it originally ran off Tensing Place but was extended to Curletts Rd. I did find one entry in the court news where it was called Vicki Place. I suspect that this street was the one originally called Everest Ave. There was only one entry for Everest Ave and that was in 1953 when the three streets were named.
Not many houses are privately owned and most date from the 1950s. The houses are very obviously state houses and several have been demolished and new high density units are being built. There is an entrance to Riccarton High School here and I have frequently driven past this street and didn’t realise that there were houses on it. I honestly thought that it was just an entrance to Riccarton High School.
