William Dawson Crescent in the suburb of Wigram, Christchurch

William Dawson Crescent in Wigram and too new for library website. Council website didn’t give a reason for the street name. Between Papers Past and Ancestry website I found a William Henry Dawson who was a farmer in the area.

The houses here were built between 2016 and 2018 and they are ugly modern houses with only a tiny bit of lawn in front of them. Part of the street has a reserve running beside it and most of the street has a footpath on both sides. I still wouldn’t like to live here.
