Meeking Place in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Meeking Place in Halswell – Named after Bishop Emeritus Basil Meeking (1929-). Formed on land subdivided by the Roman Catholic Bishop. Named in 2003.

A small amount of information from the library website. Meeking was Bishop from 1982 to 1995 and he died in 2020 aged 90.

I was geocaching in the area and walked to this street from Dunbars Rd on a small walkway. The houses here were built in 2000 and most just had lawns and scrubs. One did have an interesting garden but I didn’t manage a photo. Footpath on only one side of the street and there is a walkway that takes you to Cunneen Place. I did like the decorative street sign. There is an entrance to a religious place called Living Waters Christian Centre.
