Astor Place in Halswell – First appears in street directories in 1995. A tiny amount of information from the library website.

Half the houses were built in 1990s and the rest in 2015. The street had a footpath on both sides and the houses didn’t really stand out for me but I did like the street. At the end of the street there is a raised area with a lamp in it. The locals have added vegetable plants here for everyone to use. I ended up having a chat with one of the locals and it sounds like it is a really lovely and friendly street. I also watched a cat called Gina attempting to climb a tree and fail. They did have problems with liquefaction here after the earthquakes.

Lantern Lane in Halswell – Developed post-1997. Not a lot of information on the library website. I couldn’t find out any other information about the street.

I didn’t actually walk this one as it looked like a private driveway and I was surprised to realise that there were 11 houses here. I thought that it just a couple of houses.

Archduke Lane in Halswell – nothing on library website yet three of the houses were built in 1990s and the other two built in 2014. Several streets in the area are named after titles in the peerage.

Didn’t actually walk this one as there wasn’t a footpath and it looked like a private driveway.

The Stables in Halswell – Developed post-1997. A tiny amount of information from the library website and the houses were built in 1990s and 2000s. I couldn’t find out any details about a stable but this was a rural area so it is highly there were stables in the area. I checked Papers Past and old maps.

It is a pleasant street but footpath is only on one side of the street. At the end of the street there is a reserve and I sat here for a few moments watching fantails.

Duchess Lane in Halswell – nothing on library website yet four of the houses here were built in 1990s and one house built in 2017. Several houses in the area are named after titles in the peerage. I didn’t actually walk this street as it looked more like a driveway than a street and there wasn’t a footpath.

Marquess Ave in Halswell- nothing on library website yet the houses here were built in 1990s and 2000s. There are several streets in the area are named after titles in the peerage.

It was a pleasant tree lined street and there is an entrance to Westlake Reserve at the end of the street. A couple of interesting looking houses. Most had shrubs rather than flowers in the gardens.

Riverton Tce in Halswell – First appears in street directories in 1993.

A tiny amount of information on the library website. It is possibly named after either Riverton in Southland or Riverton in the UK.

All the houses were built in the 1990s including the one that looked like it had been built in the 1880s. There were some really nice houses on this street and I liked the street.

Van Dyke Place in Halswell – nothing on library website yet the houses were built in the 1990s. The street was probably named after the artist van Dyck but spelt wrong. This street is opposite Constable Place.

Only 7 houses and the houses didn’t stand out for me but most had lovely gardens. One had a long row of lavender plants along the footpath side of the wall. The scent was too strong for me and I had to walk past very fast. There was a footpath on both sides of the street.

Fuchsia Place in Halswell – nothing on library website yet the houses here were built in 1990s.

The footpath was on only one side of the street and one house really stood out for me. Some nice gardens but most just had lawns.

Constable Place in Halswell – In the Oaklands subdivision. First appears in street directories in 1995.

A tiny amount of information from the library website. The street is probably named after the painter John Constable as some of the nearby streets are also named after painters.

There are only 9 houses here all built in the 1990s. None of the houses stood out for me but most of the gardens were fairly nice. I walked through from Westlake Reserve to the street. I didn’t take any photos.
