Ball Lane in the suburb of Redcliffs, Christchurch

Ball Lane in Redcliffs -Named after Anthony W. Ball. Ball is listed in street directories in 1986 living at 17 Augusta Street where this street was formed. First appears in street directories in 1987.

A small amount of information from the old library website and I have to confess that I didn’t check the new library website. I will blame this on being tired as I walked 12km today which is pretty good for a 71 year old plus I climbed a tree to find a geocache.

Nothing that I can add about the name of the street. There are six houses here built in 1980s and 1990s and at one stage Anthony Ball lived at No 3 Ball Lane. No footpath and I didn’t actually walk this one as I didn’t feel comfortable doing this as it just felt like a private driveway. There was also an open home today at a house on this wee street.
