Ardtrea Lane in Heathcote – Named in 1997 – A right-of-way at 136 Port Hills Road.
A tiny amount of information from the library website and the old library website only had that it was named in 1997 but the new website had added in the information about the right of way. It is actually unusual for the new website to have extra information.
I found extra information in a page called Heathcote Lovely Lanes written by Barrie Woods and his information is – On Wednesday 2 July 1997 a meeting of the Hagley Ferrymead Community Board agreed “that the right-of way at 136 Port Hills Road be named Ardtrea Lane”.Ardtrea is a parish in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland from which the lane takes its name.
I am very grateful to Barrie and it saves me from looking up the notes from that meeting. OK I couldn’t help myself and I did look at the minutes from that meeting. I looked at Google Maps and I hadn’t visited Ardtrea in Northern Island.
I still can’t figure out why I didn’t do this street in January 2020 when I walked several streets in the area. I would have walked past it in 2020. I only partially walked the street as it feels more like a private driveway. Most of the houses were built in 1990 but one was built in 1960 and is probably the original house at 136 Port Hills Road.
