Cromer Place in the suburb of South New Brighton, Christchurch

Cromer Place in South New Brighton- Named on 21 February 1962.

A tiny amount of information from the library website. Not much information on Papers Past as it was mostly ads and a few death notices. My best guess about the name of the street is that it was named after Cromer in England. I still regret not exploring Cromer when I was in the UK. I drove through it when I was on my way to Wells-Next-to-the-Sea and I always meant to return.

Most houses on the street were built in the 1960s and none of them stood out for me. Some nice gardens and the footpath was on both sides of the street which is always a plus. I didn’t take any photos.
