Longspur Avenue in Halswell or Wigram – Named after Longspur, a high country station near the Rakaia Gorge. 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. It is another street where the library puts it into Halswell and the valuation website and google maps put it into Wigram.
The 54 houses here were mostly all built in 2000 with a few built a bit later. A nice variety of house styles but I didn’t take any photos. Some nice gardens and I did like this tree lined street. Lots of campervans parked up and luckily most places had plenty of room on the driveways for them. I will have to be honest and the house with a sign of a witch on a broomstick would have to be my favourite. Yes the Community Patrol car did want to know why I was so interested in the house. We ended up having a great chat and I now know where I can go and my own witch on a broomstick. One of my friends on the quiz team is going to get a lot of amusement when I tell him tonight as he belongs to the Community Patrol group.
