Selsey Lane in the suburb of Somerfield, Christchurch

Selsey Lane in Somerfield – Probably named after Selsey, a town and civil parish in the Chichester district of West Sussex. First appears in street directories in 1976. A tiny amount of information on the library website and I couldn’t find any information on the naming of the street. The street is where 130 and 132 Studholme St used to be but I couldn’t find any information for those addresses. Not much information on Papers Past. Several ads for houses especially in the late 1970s and early 1980s. A few death notices. Most houses here were built in the 1970s and made from summerhill stone. There were a few houses from 2016 as well. I only walked a small part of the street as the footpath only goes part of the way along the street.
