Chestnut Avenue in Hornby – First appears in street directories in 1960. Hornby streets are not listed separately .
A tiny amount amount of information from the library website. Surprising that such a small street is called an avenue as I always expect an avenue to be a long wide street lined with trees. I couldn’t find any old maps of Christchurch that showed this area. Papers Past mostly had ads for businesses and it was described as an industrial site in ads for sections. I did find a couple of death notices plus in 1934 Mr and Mrs Robson held a fundraising event at their home on this street. Most entries on Papers Past for Chestnut Avenue were about trees at Hampton Court with a few for a street in Christchurch in the UK. I searched Ancestry website with no luck either.
I walked this street today after visiting the Hornby library and before going to a geocaching event. No photos and there were a few small businesses on the street.
