Glendore Drive in Halswell and it is too new for the library website or street view. A small amount of information from the council website. Glendore is the name of the farm that was previously on the development site and is the developers name for the subdivision.
I have thoroughly searched and I can’t find any information about a farm called Glendore in Halswell. The only Glendore Farm that I could find was in Hororata. The brick entrance at 430 Sparks Rd shows a plaque on the brick entrance in street view for 2008 but I can’t read the name. I have a photo of the entrance to the property but there wasn’t a plaque on it any longer and it has been demolished since I took the photo.
The houses here were built in 2023 and 2024 and houses are still being built. Only a couple are occupied and one has so many windows that it looks like a goldfish bowl. I would love to have taken a photo but I wouldn’t have been comfortable doing this as you could see right into the bedrooms when walking past. Most building sites have security cameras called spytower which just flashes at you. This building site had cameras which not only flashed at you but had an alarm. I even managed to set it off when walking on the footpath on the opposite side from the camera. I would love to know what the security company thought about a mature (old) woman talking a photo of their security camera. I couldn’t resist. I might have to come back to walk this street again once the subdivision is finished.
