Glen Arrife Place in the suburbs of Halswell or Wigram, Christchurch

Glen Arrife Place in Halswell or Wigram – Named after Glen Arrife, a high country station in the Rakaia River catchment. 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 it is another confused street about which suburb it is in. Library says Halswell and google maps and valuation website say Wigram. Note the high country station and the town in Northern Ireland spell it as one word Glenarrife. Apparently Glenarrife means arable valley.

The Glenarrife Station has a salmon research station on the property.

The street has only 9 houses built in 2000 and they were nice looking houses. Footpath on only one side of the street and I entered the street from the nearby walkway.
