Bolt Place – Named after George Bolt (1893-1963).Bolt was an aviator, aeronautical engineer and military leader. Several streets and aviation-related facilities in various New Zealand cities are named after him. Street named because of its proximity to Christchurch International Airport.

A small amount of information from the library website and they put the street into the Christchurch airport area. A tiny street with no footpath that leads to a few businesses.

There is a Wikipedia page for George Bolt plus many entries on Papers Past. He was born in Dunedin in 1893 and died in Auckland in 1963. He formed the Canterbury Aero Club in 1910. He also helped make and fly gilders on the Cashmere Hills. In Papers Past I found a photo of him flying a glider in the Cashmere Hills. Looked very different to today’s gliders. In 1919 he undertook the first airmail flight for letters within New Zealand. He was a RNZAF and Royal Airforce pilot in WW2. After the war he was the chief engineer for Tasman Empire Airways Ltd AKA TEAL.

Ron Guthrey Road – Named after Albert Ronald Guthrey (1916- 2008). Guthrey was mayor of Christchurch 1968-1971. First appears in street directories in 1991.

A small amount of information from the library website and they put this street in the airport zone as did many of the businesses here. Lots of rental car businesses here and it was a longer street than I realised when I walked it this morning. I could have just been getting hot as the day was starting to get really warm.

Ivan Jamieson Place – Named after Andrew Ivan Robert Jamieson (1921-2005). Jamieson was the manager of Christchurch International Airport 1958-1975. He later served on the airport board into the 1990s. First appears in street directories in 1995.

A small amount of information from the library website and they placed it in the airport area but google maps put it in Harewood. The businesses seem to use both Christchurch Airport and Harewood.

No footpath and it just leads to a few businesses. Nothing exciting about it but I was pleased that it was a Sunday.

Robin Mann Place – Named after Dr Robin Mann .Mann was deputy chairman of the Christchurch International Airport board of directors in 2000. Formed post-1997.

A small amount of information from the library website and they put it in Christchurch Airport as did the businesses in the street but one website put it into Harewood.

Mostly businesses related to the airport are here but you do get a view of the Russley Road overbridge.

Pukaki Road and nothing on the library website. It is close to the airport and just has a couple of businesses on it. Real estate agents and google maps have it in Yaldhurst. No footpath and it is a private road. I was able to walk part of it by walking on an empty section here.

George Bellow Road – Named after William George Patrick Bellew (1944-).Bellew was chief executive officer at Christchurch International Airport 1988- 2005.

A small amount of information from the library website. The library didn’t have this street under any suburbs but google maps and most real estate agents put in into the suburb of Yaldhurst. A couple of business claim to be in Avonhead but I think that it stretching it a bit. I tried to find a Press article where George Bellow was called Mellow Bellow but had no luck finding it.

It is near the airport and only businesses here. Also lots of empty sections available. There is no parking available along this street with yellow no parking lines everywhere. As the road is wide enough for parking I am assuming that there is no parking for security reasons. There is a footpath and yes I was geocaching in the area.

Pennine Way in Huntsbury and nothing on library website about it. It will be named after the Pennine Way in the UK. I would love to walk the UK Pennine Way in full one day but have walked parts of it.

Only 12 very modern houses here with great views. I was amused by the fake seagull on a roof of one of the houses.

Postbridge Lane in Huntsbury and nothing on the library website. The name sounded familiar and when I googled I realised why I recognised it. Postbridge is a hamlet in Dartmoor and I recommend googling Hairy Hands. Only 7 houses here and no footpath. Because of the sign at the beginning of the lane I thought that there was going to be a show home here but there wasn’t. Great views.

Swanton Drive in Huntsbury – This name continues the theme used in the subdivision of naming the streets after English villages and localities. Named in 1998.

A small amount of information from the library website. Most houses were built in 2000s but a few were built between 2017 and 2022. Great views over Christchurch and many houses looked like goldfish bowls with so many windows. Near the top there is a big paddock with two very friendly horses in it.

Tideswell Lane in Huntsbury and nothing on library website. Probably named after the village Tideswell which is in the Peak District. There is one house from 2000 but the rest are after 2015. Looks like there is at least two more houses being built with the fencing blocking the top of the street and there was a portaloo. A narrow and tiny street with no footpath so I really just poked my nose into the street but didn’t really walk it. Seemed to be modern houses and none stood out for me.
