Stubberfield Street in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Stubberfield Street in Halswell and nothing on library website. The council website only gives the name of the street and not the reason for the name. The council website also called it Stubberfield Lane but maps and signpost says street. On Papers Past I found John Harvey Stubberfield of 366 Halswell Junction Road where this subdivision was developed. He died in 1982 aged 57 and the property was then sold. He grew vegetables plus had fruit trees. He had been a blacksmith in Leeston at one stage. He never married and is buried with his parents at Bromley cemetery. There are 7 properties here with houses built between 2021 and 2023 with at least two empty sections. There was one house with a few interesting garden decorations but didn’t manage a photo of them.
