Whitburn Avenue in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Whitburn Avenue in Halswell and too new to be on the library website. Information from the council website – Whitburn is understood to be the place where John Miln’s mother Catherine lived after his father in Scotland. That sentence from the council website makes no sense at all. It should say after his father died. I don’t know who is responsible for loading the council minutes online but I found found several mistakes. When Catherine Miln died she was living with her daughter and son-in-law in the Whitburn area. Checking the map for Whitburn in Scotland I realised that I would have driven past Whitburn a couple of times when driving between Edinburgh and Glasgow.

None of the houses stood out for me here but as the houses were built between 2020 and 2024 many of the gardens were nice. There was one house with great Christmas decorations and garden ornaments and I would love to have managed to have got a photo here. What I do remember is the lovely reserve here and I visited this reserve a year ago when geocaching. There is also a playground at the Milns Road end called Whitburn Park
