Small amount of information from the library website.
Information from Council website – PAP/20007506 154-160 Langdons Road C Inns – Papanui Ward An access allotment and right of way has been constructed to serve three residential and nine business allotments. There is a shortage of property numbers available for the allotments, creating the need for a name for the access lot and right of way. The applicant has submitted two names, and wishes to continue the “Lang” theme from Langdons Road. The names proposed are Langwood Lane and Langstone Lane. The only existing name similar is Lancewood, which in handwritten form could possibly be confused with Langwood. Recommendation: That the Board approve the name Langstone Lane for the above
There isn’t a signpost for the street and I just thought that it was a driveway for the funeral directors so I didn’t walk the street. When I checked the photo that I had taken I realised that there was a street name in the photo. I thought that the business was part of Langdons Road. When I looked at older street view there was a signpost for the street plus there were houses here with at least one of them dating back to 1950. This house is now the premises for funeral directors business and there doesn’t seem to be any residential houses left on the street.
