Heybridge Lane in the suburb of Hillsborough, Christchurch

Heybridge Lane in Hillsborough and nothing on the library website which is surprising as most houses here were built in the 1960s. It was probably named after Heybridge in England. Earliest entry on Papers Past was an engagement notice in 1966. A few sections for sale in the 1960s. A few ads plus a mention of the proposed subdivision above Chorley Place as the developer planned on putting a road to connect with Heybridge Lane. This subdivision didn’t happen. There is a walkway to Vernon Tce here plus a track that meets up with the Vernon Track. A pleasant street and very convenient for a couple of hill walks.
