Rangatira Terrace in the suburb of Mt Pleasant, Christchurch

Rangatira Tce in Mt Pleasant – formerly part of Part of Major Hornbrook Road. First appears in street directories in 1947.

A tiny amount of information from the library website. Not much information on Papers Past apart from ads for sections and houses. The earliest entry was in 1951 was about a house that had been built and consent rules weren’t followed. I didn’t look at entries for Major Hornbrook Road as I couldn’t work out which ones would have been for this part of the street. On old maps the street was Major Hornbrook Rd on the map for 1950 but Rangatira Tce on the map for 1958.

I actually walked most of this street in February and there are houses on only one side of the street. There is a park on the other side of the street. There are only 5 houses here and one dates from 1920. When I went to write this street up in February I realised that I had missed part of the street. It looks like it ends by the park but when checking maps I realised that it goes all the way to the Main Rd. Today I walked from the Main Rd and that part it is now a walkway until you get to near the tennis club.
