Cromdale Place in the suburbs of Halswell or Wigram, Christchurch

Cromdale Place in Halswell or Wigram – Named after Cromdale, a high country station located in the Lees Valley near the Ashley River. The streets in the Broken Run subdivision are all named after high country stations. Named by the developers, Brian Gillman Ltd. Named in 2005.

A small amount of information from the library website and yet another confused street. The library website says that it is in Halswell and the valuation website and google maps say Wigram. Sounds like the Cromdale High country station at this stage is the only one in the Lees Valley area that hasn’t been purchased by Americans. I checked maps to see if I had been to Cromdale in Scotland and it doesn’t look like I have been there.

The houses in this street were built in 2000 and my word for this street is boring. Practically no flowers in the gardens and just immaculate lawns or shrubs trimmed within an inch of their lives. The entrance to the street was pleasant. Not everyone has a wildness area like what I have and yes I should garden occasionally and it is small enough to keep under control.
