Grassington Lane in Halswell or Wigram – Named after Grassington Station, situated behind Rotherham on the banks of the Waiau 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 another confused street. The library website said that it was in Halswell and the valuation website and google maps say Wigram. I couldn’t find any information about this sheep station when I googled and it kept saying that there were no railway stations with this name in New Zealand. I am sure that google searches have got worse since AI. Grassington in North Yorkshire looks like a lovely place and it has a railway station. Yes I am being sarcastic.
There are only 9 houses here built in 2000 and they look pleasant enough. There wasn’t a footpath and I thought that the properties would have been aimed at older people but going by the number of basketball hoops there are probably several teenagers living on the street.
At the start of the street where it leads off Broken Run there is an entrance to a walkway.
