Carol Place in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Carol Place in Halswell – In the Oaklands subdivision. First appears in street directories in 1972.

A tiny amount of information from the library website. I couldn’t find out how this street got it’s name and I checked ancestry website and Papers Past. I couldn’t find any relatives of Karl Scott called Carol. It could have been named after a horse as Karl Scott owned racehorses. Papers Past only had a few ads and a couple of death notices for this street.

Looked like a pleasant street but cars parked blocking footpaths I find very annoying. I am able to walk around them but people on walking frames and in wheelchairs really struggle with this.
