Saxby Lane in the suburb of Halswell, Christchurch

Saxby Lane in Halswell- Named after Miss Saxby who married Halswell dairy farmer Charles Candy. Named in 2018

A small amount of information from the new library website and nothing on the old library website.

Candys Road was named after Charles Candy and I have already walked that street and practically nothing on Papers Past for either Charles or his wife Emily nee Saxby. She died in 1916 aged 89 and they are both buried in the Halswell cemetery.

Only 12 houses on this street and they were built between 2018 and 2022.

I only walked a few metres here as the footpath only went partially along the street. Nothing stood out for me but the houses seemed to be a reasonable size compared to houses on the surrounding streets.
