Lapwing Lane in Mt Pleasant – Named after the Lapwing, a 35 tonne sailing vessel that delivered timber and other goods to Heathcote in the 1860s. Named on 2 June 1999.
A small amount of information from the library website. Lots of ads on Papers Past under shipping news. It seemed to be a coastal vessel. I couldn’t find out much more than this about the vessel but it was possibly built in Auckland. It was also possibly owned by one of the Carey family from Carey’s Bay in Dunedin at one stage.
There are only four houses here with three built in 2000 and the other built in 2016. Great views here. I didn’t walk this tiny lane as a vehicle was blocking it.
