Pateke Place in the suburb of Bromley, Christchurch

Pateke Place in Bromley and nothing on the library website. I checked both the old and new street information on the library website.

Luckily I found an article from 1972 where six streets are mentioned as being named after the Maori names for birds that live in the Estuary. It was a new subdivision in 1972 and I managed to walk all six streets today. In the article it said that Pateke means brown duck but google says Brown Teal.

Very little on Papers Past as it was just a few ads and death notices. Houses here built in the 1970s and 1980s and none of them stood out for me. A couple of nice gardens. My only photos are of people parking badly. I hate it when the footpath is blocked my cars. There was plenty of room to park properly.
