Bryden Place in Halswell and nothing on library website. The council website just gives the name of the street and that it was part of the subdivision at 340 Halswell Junction Road.
I now know that the streets were named after young men who died in World War One and are on the Halswell War Memorial. There were two men with the surname Bryden on the War Memorial and I quickly found the information on the online cenotaph. Albert John Bryden and Walter Charles Bryden were brothers and they were born in Springfield but the family moved to Christchurch. Albert John Bryden was killed in action on 19th July 1916 at the Somme and is buried at Ration Farm Military Cemetery at La Chapelle-d’Armentiere Nord France.
Walter Charles Bryden was killed in action in Belgium on 13th June 1917. He is buried at Mesines Ridge New Zealand Memorial in Messines Ridge British Cemetery in Belgium.
There are only 10 houses on this street built between 2019 and 2022. The footpath is on only one side of the street. None of the houses stood out for me but when checking maps apparently there is a Multicultural Youth Association Centre on this street but it is temporarily closed. At the end of the street there was a walkway which I used to get to Halswell Junction Road where my car was parked.
