Tangy Loch Lane in the suburb of Broomfield, Christchurch

Tangy Loch Lane in Broomfield – Named after Tangy Loch in Kintyre, Scotland.Named to continue the Scottish theme of the street names in the Kintyre Estates subdivision. Named in 2012.

A small amount of information from the library website and I love the name of this street. Most houses here were built in 2014 and there are houses on only one side of the street. The Neathwest Reserve is on the other side of the street. There was a footpath on this street and I walked until I couldn’t go any further and I then was able to go into the reserve.

Horseman Lane in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Horseman Lane in Yaldhurst and nothing on library website. Because of the name of the street it will have been part of the Noble subdivision. Only 9 houses here and most were built in 2022 and at least one is still being built. Didn’t actually walk this street as it didn’t have a footpath and just looked like a driveway to about 3 or 4 houses so I was surprised when I realised that there are 9 houses here.

Apple Orchard Lane in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Apple Orchard Lane in Yaldhurst – In the Noble Village subdivision developed on the former Applefields land in Yaldhurst Road. Named in 2011.

A small amount of information from the library website. I didn’t actually walk this street as it didn’t look like a street. It looked like a courtyard and the houses all looked exactly the same. They were all built in 2020. They were fairly small houses with a tiny bit of lawns in front of them.

Stud Road in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Stud Rd in Yaldhurst – Named because the street was developed on the former Applefields land in Yaldhurst Road. The property has historical connections with the breeding and racing of standard breed horses. In the Noble Village subdivision [This name caused great mirth among councillors at the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board meeting when the chairman presented the council with a list of names to be approved for streets in the subdivision.] Named in 2011

A small amount of information from the library website and I can just imagine the councillors behaving like immature school kids over the name. There is a footpath on both sides of the street and most houses were built in 2021 but there are still houses being built here. The houses and street are too new to have any character yet.

Founders Lane in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Founders Lane in Yaldhurst – In the Noble Village subdivision developed on the former Applefields land in Yaldhurst Road. The property has historical connections with the breeding and racing of standard breed horses. Named in 2011.

A small amount of information from the library website. Only 10 houses here that were built in 2021 and the song Little Boxes by Pete Seeger popped into my head again. That was the second time today when out walking this area. The street comes out onto a wee reserve with trees and seating. I couldn’t find a name for the reserve.

Cellars Way in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Cellars Way in Yaldhurst – Named after the wine cellar with its association with the production of cognac. In the Delamain subdivision. Named in 2007.

A small amount of information from the library website. None of the houses stood out for me and most had immaculate lawns with no flowers or gardens. I had to walk on the road here as the footpath had trees in the middle of it every few metres. Also cars were parked on the footpath.

Furlong Street in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Furlong St in Yaldhurst and nothing on library website. This street is probably part of the Noble subdivision because the name of the street is connected to race horses. Most houses are built between 2020 and 2022 but there are still houses being built here. I was surprised that there was a footpath on both sides of the street. There is a padlocked gate at the end of the street preventing people from getting into the paddock and there was at least one cow in the paddock. There was one house at the end of the street that looked like it was possibly an older house being rebuilt but couldn’t find any information to support this. As I was walking along I did wonder if the street measured a furlong but I am not going to go back with a tape measure.

Reins Lane in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Reins Lane in Yaldhurst and possibly too new to be on library website or not included because it is a private lane. The houses were built in 2020 and nothing stood out for me. The street led to the playground in Champagne Reserve. It is likely to be part of the Noble subdivision because the name of the street has a race horse connection.

Gallop Lane in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Gallop Lane in Yaldhurst – In the Noble Village subdivision developed on the former Applefields land in Yaldhurst Road. The property has historical connections with the breeding and racing of standard breed horses. Named in 2011.

A small amount of information from the library website. I was surprised that this street was on the library website as the 6 houses here were only built last year. The nearby street Trainers Lane wasn’t on the library website yet the houses there are slightly older.

The street is too new to have any character and I thought that I could get into Champagne Reserve from this street but there was a big ditch in my way.

Trainers Lane in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Trainers Lane in Yaldhurst and it is too new to be on library website as the houses here were built between 2020 and 2022.

It is probably part of the Noble subdivision as all of the streets in that subdivision have names connected to the horse racing industry.

A very narrow street with a footpath but it was impossible to actually walk on the footpath because of all the cars parked on it. There were only 6 houses. I ended up walking on a walkway in Champagne Reserve that ran parallel to the street.
