Hatherly Lane in the suburb of Mt Pleasant, Christchurch

Hatherly Lane in Mt Pleasant – Named after Rohan Hatherly Philp Wills (b. 1947?). Wills, a solicitor, was a director of Cannon Estate Ltd which developed the subdivision where this street is formed. His father, Eric Philp Wills (1905-1968), was one of the original members of the syndicate which bought the 111 acres of the Cannon Estate in 1956. First appears in street directories in 1987.

A reasonable amount of information from the library website and I can’t add anything to this information.

It just like a private driveway with no footpath so I didn’t actually walk it. I was surprised to realise that there are seven houses here and they were mostly built in 1980 and 1990 but going by street view some look like rebuilds.
