Kokopu Lane in the suburb of Bexley Red Zone, Christchurch

Kokopu Lane in Bexley Red Zone and nothing on library website. The young of Kokopu are what we know as whitebait and they are very delicious. The houses that had been here probably dated from the late 1990s but they have all been demolished. There was an article online from January 2012 about the demolition of the houses. If there hadn’t been a street sign I wouldn’t have known that there had been a street here. The lane ran off a street called Wetlands Grove which should have been a bit of a clue about the land here. My photo includes Wetlands Grove.
