Chorley Place in the suburb of Hillsborough, Christchurch

Chorley Place in Hillsborough and nothing on the library website. This was surprising as the houses here were built in the 1960s. The street is probably named after Chorley in England. Not much information on Papers Past and the earliest entry was a death notice in 1966. In 1977 there was a protest about a proposed subdivision that was going to be built above this street. The residents in the area were concerned about potential landslides. The proposed subdivision was eventually declined which was probably a good idea. There was a footpath on both sides of the street here which I always love. No photos as nothing jumped out at me. It was a pleasant well established street. I was surprised that I hadn’t already walked this street as I have already walked streets in the area.
