Railway Terrace in Heathcote and nothing on the library website. The following information is from Barrie Woods’s piece called Heathcote’s Lovely Lanes. Actually a private right of way, Railway Terrace was named because it follows a terrace above the railway
line. Original properties in this area were part of the Pawaho settlement, which was a government village settlement designed for workmen with jobs in Lyttelton.
The only entry on Papers Past was a death notice from 1994. There were so many entries for streets named Railway Terrace but not for the one in Heathcote. It also doesn’t show on early maps.
There is supposed to be a house here dating from 1900 but I am not sure if I managed a photo of this house as there isn’t any street view on google maps.
There is a footpath on this street but I mostly had to walk on the road as the footpath was overgrown with vegetation. I was expecting lots of history for this street and was disappointed to find very little information. I vaguely recall that I knew someone who had moved to this street after living in Lyttelton for most of their lives but can’t remember who it was.
